We are all blessed having been a part of Aunt Alice's life. I visited with her in September with my Dad, Cornie. We laughed and shared memories. She is truly a saint in heaven and will watch over all of us.

My thoughts go to her family, of what a wonderful Aunt she was. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
I fondly remember how she treated me so royally when Eugene was ordained and I was his bride. Alice and Frank made his day and mine as wonderful as it could have been and I will cherish those thoughts forever. May she rest in peace. Her work here is done.

Dear Gene and family,
Our hearts, thoughts, and prayers are with all of you as you celebrate the life of your dear Mom and Grandmother, and her call now to be in her heavenly home. We are so happy we were able to meet her. She first taught you to love, and she will live on in all of you through the love you share with others. We wish we could be with you Saturday, and will be with you in mind, heart, and prayer. Our deepest sympathy and love, from your friends, Bill and Mimi
