daughters. She also loved shopping and taking long, breezy rides in the car. Alice displayed
such a caring spirit, that anyone who came in contact with her, even if just for a moment, felt
welcomed and loved. Alice was a prankster who had a great sense of humor and such an

was a mother to so many.
