It is hard to believe you have left us Auntie. Our family has fond memories of you and your loving ways. You raised a beautiful family of loving people who will continue your loving ways.
May the Creator bless Alice on her journey home. Over the past 25 years, she became like an Auntie to my wife and me. She would even find some of my humor funny, and would share many laughs and stories at the barbeques/meals at Brenda and Kevin’s place. Condolences to all of her family during this difficult tough time.
We will never forget her laugh. She raised a loving family and was always welcoming, greeting everyone with a smile. Our deepest condolences.
Love,
