Our family spent many fun times with Alice and John. We remember the great food and hospitality. Alice exemplified gratitude for all things. It is comforting to know she is at rest with her Lord Jesus and family and friends.

John and family, I am sorry for the empty place Alice will leave here, but I know as a faithful follower of Jesus Christ, that she is home in heaven. She was a lovely person and I can smile thinking of her saying, "Hello, dahling." I was thinking of you, John and Alice, not more than two or three days ago. May God be with you and your family.
