God bless you, I remember as a young child driving from Plainville Ct to Caribou Maine and stopping at their restaurant and eating some wonderful food or to their beautiful cabins for a short visit. I received two puppies from her and(Beauty)her beloved dog. I remember her having a tame squirrel come to the door of their cabin and hand feed it peanuts. she was truly an animal lover. With fondest memories and deepest sympathy.

It was my great pleasure to serve Alice her evening dinner at the nursing home. She was always open to a quick tease and often showed us her good humor. May she rest in peace now and may you, her family, know the peace of the Lord during this most difficult time. Michael L Doucette
