To My Loving Auntie Alice & Godmother, I will forever cherish all the wonderful memories that I have shared with you all through my life. You were always there for me through the good times and the bad and you were always there for my Dad too! You laughed with me cried with me ,you were always there right by my side when I needed you the most!! You gave so much love and support for Daddy and me and my family during the most difficult times and I couldn´t have made it through everything without you always by my side. I was beyond devastated when My Dad passed away but you were right there by my side helping with the funeral arrangements and you also came with me to help pick out a plot at All Saints Cemetery. I decided to purchase 2 plots one for Dad and for my Mom ,so that they would be together. We hugged and cried and you decided at that time that you were going to purchase 2 plots for you and Uncle Charlie because you told me that you wanted to be buried next to your brother. It was at that very moment I knew in my heart what I needed to do. That evening I discussed with Bryan that we needed to purchase 2 plots for us. So we had everything in order for us too ! I went back and purchased my 2 plots so now all of us will be together in the end..When the unfortunate time comes, I will be laid to rest right next to you Auntie Alice. Now you will forever be by my side, just like you have always been! I will end just like we did when we hung up the phone....I love you!!!!!!!!!! I will forever miss you!!! You left footprints on my and so many beautiful memories that I will cherish forever! Please give My Dad and Mom a kiss from me and them them that I miss them terribly! Rest in peace my sweet Auntie Alice-until we meet again. Love, Your Niece and Goddaughter Trina Bennica

Auntie Alice, I will forever remember all of the laughs we had together. Like when you were in the pool with the float kicking your feet and not moving an inch, or how you wouldn't eat anything Jojo couldn't eat because you shared have your food with him and I will always laugh when I remember you saying " turn the damn fan off" lol I love and miss you already

To my wonderful auntie Alice, my last Aunt in the whole wide world. I will always hear your laugh, I will always remember your smile, and not to forget you´re a fantastic cooking throughout the years. Everybody loved you and enjoyed your company, and you will be missed terribly forever. But I do find comfort in knowing that you´re surrounded in heaven, by everybody who left before you, so I´m sure you´ll be busy entertaining with them. Love you to the moon and back.
Your nephew,
Ken J. Woodward Jr.
