To Jody, Mary Ann and Jim: With heartfelt sympathy at the loss of your very special Mary Alice. Being friends with Jody since 7th grade, I was a frequent guest in the Carmichael home during junior high, high school and college. These visits were always filled with Mary Alice's warm hospitality and she made me feel right at home with her great sense of humor, delicious meals and a sincere "Come back soon" when it was time for me to leave. I know her quick wit, good food and sincerity will be missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
