Alice has become a very dear friend of mine for the last couple of years. She is a part of our Senior Program at Our Lady of Grace. I was given her name to contact and we became very close. We shared many of our ups and downs in life and thoroughly enjoyed chatting with one another. I will truly miss her for her personality and feisty nature. May she rest peacefully with the Lord in Heaven.
