Mindy, Ruth, and Brian,
Our deepest sympathy and heart felt wishes go out to you for your loss. Our hearts broke when we read the article in the Community Advocate. I knew Alice and Mindy for years and then my husband and my two sons got to know Alice well in Taekwondo. We were shocked to hear the news and all cried. Please know that we pray for you all.

I can’t tell you how devastated I was on hearing about Alice. When I read the article in the Post I was equally amazed at how that dreamy little girl I remembered had grown up into such an accomplished young woman. I hope you can find some comfort in remembering how much she accomplished. I hope you three can somehow find the strength to get through this. Please call me if there is anything I can

I was so terribly saddened when I heard the news about Alice. People say that everything happens for a reason, but I can't think of any for the loss of such a young sweet giving person with so much to offer the world. My heart goes out to all of you, and I will always remember Alice and the fun times our families had together.

We were very sorry to hear of your loss. We have many fond memories of Alice as a child. She was such a fun, creative person. Genevieve,while she was at Mount Holyoke, often met up with Alice and we enjoyed hearing about her latest adventures. She had a positive influence on our lives that will not be forgotten.

I grew up with Alice and went to school with her. She was always such a sweet girl and always had a smile on her face. My deepest sympathy goes out to her family.
