    I’ve known Alice for many years, as I also am a friend of Betty Dahn’s. We’ve had many good times thru those years, lots of laughs.

    Alice always had a big smile and Hi when you seen her. I always had great admiration for her cooking talents, she was always happy to share her ideas with you, especially when asked about how do I make this?

    My thoughts are with her Family and with our friend Betty.

    She will be missed by many.

    We are so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother, Alice. I had not seen her in years but often wondered how she was doing. I always enjoyed talking with her when Mike, Jesse and the boys were building their famous treehouse! She was a sweet and very loving lady. We send our deepest sympathy to all of you.

    I worked with Alice years ago and would see her once and awhile after that. She had such a good heart…and always had a smile and words of encouragement when I bumped into her. My condolences to her Mom and the kids. She will be missed!

    I am deeply saddened to read of Alice’s struggle with cancer and passing. I thought of her a lot over the years and extreamly regret not keeping in touch. Alice was a beautiful person and friend. We went to high school together, were good friends in our last high school years, and her parents were wonderful to me. I will always remember Alice with the utmost respect and love. it is a tragic loss and my heart goes out to you all.
