My sister-in- law Alice was one of the most genuinely kindest people I ever knew. She was not only a great Mom, Aunt and Grandma ,a dedicated reading teacher, a wonderful friend but also an ever-caring sister and daughter. When my ailing husband,her brother Larry, was so ill ,Alice would visit every day and bring a sense of love and peace. My children and I send our deepest sympathy to the family. Alice will be in our thoughts and prayers forever.Love to all
