I shared the same birthdate as Alice. We rode to work together from Durand. I have many great memories of times we shared. We even took a vacation together to the Wisconsin Dells. Alice was a very special lady. Soft spoken, easy going, always a pleasure to be around. This world has lost a very classy lady. My sincere condolences to you, Kathy and your family
