April 10, 2022 at 5:27 pmSorry 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.
