  • My dear, dear Aunt Alice….. it is so sad to know you have passed on. You will be missed by many people who loved you, laughed with you and truly cared about you. You will now find peace with your your brothers and sister, “Rol”, “Mitch”, John and Mary Lou. You have gone back home to be with them. I’m sure you have a smile on your face now being close to them and your Joseph, who you LOVED to talk about. Great memories when I was growing up and coming to Aunt Alice’s house for parties. Aunt Alice would sing and Aunt Mary Lou would play the accordian. What fun we had! Then there were the times in later life when I would come every day to check on Aunt Alice when she started to get a little forgetful. She still kept her sense of humor and always had a new family story to tell me! May you rest in peace knowing that the great times our family had will be remembered with loving memories of you Aunt Alice.
