I am sorry to hear of your loss. I have only fond memories of Alice. I hope that you will embrace peace as time passes. Though I am saddened... I will give thanks to God that a part of my childhood was the existance of Alice Alexander and her family. Heaven must be a place that allows her to be her former self , like she was when she was the nice lady who would give me a ride home from cub scout meetings over 40 years ago ... I will show a kindness to someone today as a tribute for her kindness to me .
