I have gotten to know Alice in the last couple of years. She is married to my cousin Robby. We only saw each other a couple of times in person. but have had many conversations on the phone. I feel like I´ve known her for a long time. She was always laughing. A happy person and I will miss her calls so much. My heart breaks for Robby and her family. Praying for all of you!
