Personal note from Alice's family

We have many vivid memories of Alice and her escapades. She would drive with her eyes closed in scary situations (even with little kids in the car)--like on-coming 18-wheelers on narrow roads, hairpin turns on mountains, etc. Once she got stuck on a hilly road and had her 12-year-old nephew turn the car around! Another time she lost her car in a mall parking lot and waited for the stores to close so she could find where she left it. She always got lost! One time she got lost in the country and just drove through a cornfield till she came to a road. Another time in the Brisbane Australia zoo we found her on the other side of the zoo with all the monkeys. She always had a "tee-he" giggle or an "acheweee" sneeze to go along with all these episodes.

Great at choosing gifts, we all have Christmas crafts she made for us each year--everything from candy to macramé chairs and from bird houses to fringed blankets. Above all, she gave us the gift of laughter! We will sorely miss you, Alice, but
"...It's only for a while that we must part, so bless the memories within our heart...."
