"Surprised to hear for her death after returning from a week long vacation. I will miss seeing Alice at sales and visiting with her. She really did make you feel welcome and always was so helpful in pointing out the items she thought you would like. I wish her family peace in her passing and comfort that the Lord is now taking care of her."
In loving memory of

"It was with great sorrow that I learned of Alice's passing. My heartfelt sympathy goes to the family on your loss. Alice always had a great story to tell, and would gracially assist anyone. I'll surely miss her!"
"There are too many good memories to account for here. I will miss her deeply and am just glad that we got to see her before the end. She will be missed."
"I will miss Alice terribly the smalls table will never be the same. Alice always knew what I should buy before I did and she was usually right!. She would always have a basket ready for me to fill and knew I would make a second round after the first rush so we could chat for a few minutes. Alice was very proud of her nieces and nephew and would brag about you often. We always had to share stories about our latest acquisitions for our collections. Know that she is up above visiting with everyone she has missed for a while. Plus she is watching over all of us. Pam."
