Bobby, Roger & Family,

I am sorry to hear the passing of Aunt Alice.
I remember going to her house on Sundays, and how much fun her and my grandmother had.

With Sympathy, Sandy

You will be missed Nana. She lived a full life touching many people in a positive way. She was always willing to share her opinion and would always have a smile to share too. I will always cherish the times we spent together. To the rest of the bickford family we love you and our hearts are sad with you.
