Diane, Tony and Darlene,
I am so sorry for the loss of your Mother. As all of you know I thought of her as my second Mom. I loved her with all my heart. She was a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. There are no words to explain how she will be missed by her family, community and friends. She was truly one of a kind. Her memories will live on in my life as I know it will yours. She always said it was her and God and now I know she has truly found the meaning of that phase. She will be missed terribly here on this earth, but we will see her again when we gain our wings as she has already gotten hers. Love to all of you.

Alice was one of the sweetest and kindest ladies we know and made the best fried apple pies! She always had that pretty smile and was always concerned about everyone else. A true Christian Lady. Sympathy to Tony and all of the family. Steve and Peggy Evans.
