I had many clients working for L.I. but none touched me as Alice did.It was not "Work" when I went to her home.We had many laughs, many talks, and silence at time. Alice was a beautiful woman that could Light up any room like a lightbulb.She was also very skilled and could fix anything!! Give her a challenge and she was up to it.I was the one that gave her the organ and it is quite a story and a stuggle to get it to her, in her apartment, set up in the correct spot etc. Another challenge she met head on!! She loved like no other human being I know or have known. The world was a better place due to you Alice,R.I.P you ARE in your Palace now and missed by many .God bless all of her family at this time and KNOW she touched many lives in such an astounding way ! xoxoxo ( I am 1 of the fortunate ones that have not 1 but 2 of her beautiful doilys and will treasure them forever )

I knew Alice for over 30 years. My sons called her "Auntie Alice" and would visit her daily in our walks around Newmarket. Rest in Peace, dear. My thoughts and prayers to all, God bless you!

Mom I miss you so much. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. You gave me all the love any child would want. Tell Daddy I said Hi and love him too. Until we meet again hugs and kisses.
