Dear Ed and Family, May God comfort your hearts today with the loss of Alice. I enjoyed working with “Little Al” at the Corporation Division of the State of Michigan. We had a special friendship over the years. She will always have a special spot in my heart!

I’m so sorry for your loss. Alice was a beautiful person. We worked together and had many good laughs over the years.

As my sister in the Lord, I saw the love she had for people and animals.

May God continue to hold you close. Sent with deep sympathy.

Sorry for such a late writing but I just found this out. Alice was such a kindhearted person that loved animals and doing for others. Her family was everything and she wore the biggest smile whenever she spoke of them. If you had a question no matter what it was Alice would find or have the answer which was always exact. God received another Angel in heaven the day Alice passed.
