So sorry for your loss of such a wonderful woman. There are so many great memories of her. She would always be there to bandage up our cuts or scrapes and wipe our noses, as kids. She will be remembered.

Dale, Children and Dear Aunt Louise, we are all saddened at the loss of Alice Jo. I have so many fond childhood memories of the many times we visited NY during summer breaks and once at Christmas. It would have been great to have lived closer together as children and adults. Alice Jo's loss will leave a large hole in the family and community that she did so much for.
We love YOU! Rest in peace now with Father, Grandmother, Friends and Family that have preceded you. In time we all hope to join you!

Dear Dale Sr., Dale Jr., David, Randy, & Vicky, I am very saddened to hear of Alice's passing. I have been away from Red Hook for a long time but still think of you often. I have very fond memories from my childhood of Alice. To mention a few, the pool parties, clam bakes, Alice dressing up as a witch and scaring the pants off me in elementary school, sleepovers in the pop up trailer, haunted house in the basement, and the list goes on. She was always willing to help everyone and have fun. Hugs and Kisses go out to all of you during this very difficult time. Love always, Tracey

Dear Cousin Edward and family. I am so sorry for your loss. She was too young to leave us. I am 85 now and maybe you don't even remember me, your aunt Leila's daughter Margaret Veach Herrick. Our sincere condolences to you all.
