Very sweet lady..I was close with 3 of her granddaughters & her daughter...I also became close with Alice herself when I helped to care for her in 2014... I hope the family is staying strong & holding up well
I am sorry for the grief your family is going through. I know that Alice was truly loved by many relatives and friends. Alice had a wonderful talent of making everyone laugh and enjoy being with her. She was gifted with an incredible kind-fun loving soul all of her life.
Alice will be truly missed by all that were blessed by having Alice in our lives.
My wish for her family and friends is to remember all the happy times that were spent with her as a blessing she left behind for us.

I am so sorry for your loss. Losing a loved one in death is one of the most difficult things you will ever experience, but the bible gives us a comforting thought at Revelation 21:3,4 which says "With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them.And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.The former things have passed away.” What a loving God to promise that we will see our loved ones again.
She will be dearly missed by myself & John, we loved her so dearly, wish we could have visited more, but unable to due to money situation, sending prayers and love to all the family.
