I'm so sorry me find out that Alice passed away.Sat down Fri night to read the Strathmore Standard,Hussar news, was upset to read Alice had passed away.She was a beautiful,warm,caring,great cook,and just like a mom to me. Never seem to bother her if there was 1 or 3 next kids around.If one of us in terrible we all were in terrible,spankings all around.Lots of memories were made on Gunnar and Alice's and on our farm.They are all together again,Alice Gunnar mom and dad,playing cards and shotting the bull.
