Alice was a very special person. I knew her from Girl Scouts every summer at Camp Woodhaven, when we were 7 to 14 yrs old. The weekly summer camp that we spent time there, I feel that we all made friends for life. I am so sorry to hear about your loss. May Alice live long and prosper in all your families hearts and memories. May God hold you all in his arms as you go through this difficult journey. May Alice RIP.

So sad to hear this about Alice. You have my deepest sympathy and my prayers are with the family. I remember Alice growing up. We were in Girl Scouts for many years together learning new things and being on the Alan County, junior fair board committee. Alice was a good person.
