It is so hard to say goodbye to someone who has been a part of my life for so long–so, until we meet again dear Alice may you be celebrating eternity with Scott, Gary, Sissy and Edie. I love you more than words could express.

To my cousins, Sherry, David, Lisa and Ian…my thoughts and prayers are with you and your extended family. I remember your meme when we were growing up to be full of life, fun and laughter. May she now rest in peace and comfort in the arms of all of her loved ones who have passed before her, especially Aunt Edie who we miss so much! Love to all.

Our prayers and thoughts go out to all who were fortunate enough to know and love “Meme Alice”. She was there for us when our kids were little….never saying “no” when we needed her to babysit…..whether it was at 3am or 3pm….Meme was there!! Our girls have very fond memories of their days with her….our Kimmi was her “Mean Bean”!! She sure did surprise us all in getting her driver’s license when she was in her 60’s!!
Rest in Peace, sweet Meme, know that you will forever be in the hearts of many people! Love Shaun, Barbara, Laura & Kimmi
