I never met Alice but had heard so much about her through our dear and mutual friend, Linda. I hear she was a true lady in every sense of the word, not too many left like her. She is free of pain now and the restraints of her earthly body. May she rest in comfort. I'll watch over Linda for you, Alice. Godspeed.

I never met Alice, but I am friends with Linda, who was such a devoted and good friend to Alice. I know she saw Alice as a second mom and I'm sure that Alice felt blessed to have Linda as such a dear and caring friend. Alice and I shared something in common - the sweet and honest friendship that only Linda can provide. I'll watch over her for you, Alice, while you rest in comfortable sleep. You know you have my deepest sympathies, Linda, and that I am here 24/7 for you. Love you.
