I knew Alice and Earl through my daughter, Gina, who used to live next door. They were such wonderful neighbors, and they were so sweet and dear. Gina just stopped by and visited with Alice not long ago and took a nice picture with her. I am sorry for your loss. God bless!

So sorry to hear this. My memories of Alice were of her at the trailer making the best biscuits and gravy I have ever had.
Prayers to the whole family.
