Alice was a warm, wonderful, thoughtful, caring and generous person. Her smile could light up your heart and light up the room. I will sincerely miss her.

I have fond memories of her going back 30 years to kindergarten, through the present, working with her in the SSH ER. My deepest condolences go out to her family during this difficult time. Alice, may your light shine on in our minds and our hearts. You will never be forgotten.
