Have great memories of Frank and Alice. My parents, Herb and Mary played pinochle with Jack and Carma Kirwan and the Colsons years ago. They rotated houses every week. Very injoyable memories of those times. Spend a lot of time at the store talking to both of them. Miss those days, great neighbor!
Sorry for your loss! Going to miss that smile.

I have so many memories of your Mother. It seemed that most of our high school years were spent at the Peterson's store. We were always welcomed and there was always good conversation to be had. Good times come to mind when I think of your mother. Wish I could be there, but Mark and I are on a Mission in Oklahoma. Prayers and thoughts are with you. So thankful for good friendships.

What a wonderful lady, always gracious to me whenever we had the chance to meet. Alice was so proud of her grandchildren and great grandchildren. Her face lit up when she could be with them.
Her gentle way will be missed.

I will always remember her and Frank at the store buying all the Penny candies my allowance would cover! Such a great family!

Truly a great loss to our community. I loved going to Petersen's Store and catching up on all the area news. Alice always had a smile and a kind word to share every time our paths crossed. Her infectious laugh and quick wit always present. I will miss her, but I know her reunion with Frank and Christina will be glorious. My deepest sympathy to her loved ones. A life very well lived.
