My dear Brother.. I am a much better person to this day, because I knew Alice and I will always love and miss her. You both opened your home to Jerry and I when we married, until we got on our own two feet. Alice was more like my Sister. I remember her coming to the house when I was young and having dinner with us. She was such a pleasure to be around.. She was always, always good to my family.. I am going to miss her so much. May God be with you and Scott during this time and give you Peace, as only HE can. I love all of you so much... Fly High, Alice.. I will see you again!!!
