This is a lovely tribute to a beautiful woman. I am proud to call her Aunt. She is with her parents and brother now, but I know she did not want to leave us behind. Her love and the strength she showed us throughout her full life will help all of us move forward without her until we see her, and them, again. Love to everyone who shares our grief.
Alice was a beautiful with a heart full of love. All of us in Racine who were touched by her will never forget her enthusiam for life and her capacity to open the hearts of everyone. Thank you Alice for "being you".
Love you Mom, miss you.
I didnt know you, but you raised a great son. That speaks volumes.
She sounds like she was a wonderful person. That she was a Hospice volunteer says a lot. She'll always remain in your heart. Rest in peace.
Never got to meet you, Ms. Alice, but I'm sure I would have enjoyed the experience. You left an awesome legacy behind! Kev rocks!
To my first boyhood crush. You truly will be missed. May you rest in peace until we meet again.
Words cannot express how very sorry I am for your loss. What an inspiration she was to you and what an impact she made on your lives. Her strength and power stood out in a way that was truly unforgettable. Know in your heart that she too was blessed by having an amazing son like you. My deepest sympathy.
Shannon L. Adler once said "Carve your name on hearts, not tombstones. A legacy is etched into the minds of others and the stories they share about you.” I have learned so much about your mom, Alice, through stories shared since her passing. These stories have etched their way into my mind and heart. A stellar lady has left this earth; the gates of heaven have opened, and Alice will bring many of her gifts to share with the angels.
So sorry for your loss. Loved my Aunt Alice.
