Alice was a dear friend and colleague on FIRM's board of directors. The best for which any of us can hope in this life is to leave a record of which we can be proud. Alice certainly did. She will be missed but, more importantly, she will also be *remembered* ... with fondness and respect for the values she contributed to those of us who had the good fortune and pleasure of knowing her.

I had the pleasure of meeting Alice about 15 years ago, when I had worked with her on a records management project. She was a thorough and knowledgeable professional and a delightful person to know. I haven't seen her much in recent years, except at our annual conference, and each time I met with her, however briefly, my life was enriched. My condolences to her family. She will be grealy missed by her colleagues.

While words cannot remove your saddness, may all these comments from Alice's friends and associates help ease the pain of her loss. I am yet another one of Alice's large family of ARMA friends and professonal associates. Alice was someone I always tried to find at the annual conferences-- to catch up what we were doing, to share experiences and ideas and--- to just visit. I will miss her greatly.

My thoughts are definitely with you at this sad time. Alice brought so much enthusiasm and dedicated commitment to everything she did -- whether it was with her personal or her professional life. I hope that the joyful memories you have will be a source of comfort to you.

It was my privilege to have known Alice for some years. I was one of her former co-workers in Reading, PA and was more recently a good friend as well as a professional colleague. She was a wonderful person! We will all miss her!

Alice and I were ARMA and ICRM friends for several years. She and I shared many medical challenges.

I know that she loved her family, especially her nieces and nephews and treasured her title of Favorite Aunt.

I know this is a difficult time, but know that Alice was loved by people both near and far.

I first met Alice when she was my instructor at George Washington University and would also see her at ARMA functions. I had a deep appreciation for her knowledge and encouragement. She will be missed.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family along with my tears of joy for Alice as I know she is with our Lord. I met Alice about three years ago and she made such an impression upon me. I knew immediately she was a treasure -- not just to our profession, but to this earth. I was blessed to have met and known her.

With Heartfelt Thoughts,

Alice has been a very special friend since I first met her in 1990 through the NIRMA organization. I always enjoyed visiting with Alice at ARMA each year and will miss her very much. She was a special lady and so valuable to the records management profession. I watched her struggle for years with her illness; she would not let it get her down. I wish her and her family peace. She left her mark on the world.

Staff and instructors at George Washington University's Center for Professional Development were very sorry to hear of the passing of Alice Gannon, a long time instructor with our Records and Information Management program. She will be missed by all, especially the students.

I am saddened to hear of Alice's passing... but also relieved, knowing that she is now at peace, with the LORD. I know that she suffered for many years, but never, ever, even once... did she let it reflect on her work, or in her relationships with her peers. She was truely a professional... and I will always respected her for the person that she was. I learned much from Alice, and I hold her in admiration.

It is my pleasure to have known her, and to have called her my friend and peer.

I met Alice 15 years ago and she instantly became my mentor. She has overseen my career every step of the way. I met her every year at the ARMA meeting and she had always arranged dinner social hours and there was always room for one more. I will miss her sunny smile, her quiet nature, her dogged determination, and most of all her kind words of encouragement and pride.
