Alice was patient, full of kindness, love, and laughter and nothing short of remarkable! We will remember her for her wisdom and encouragement to everyone she encountered. She had sunshine in her smile, and her laughter was a source of joy. Her heart was full of compassion and unprejudiced. Her hugs were like a shield of protection, and her prayers were the sword. There was love in everything she did to make our lives worthwhile. You could always find both hope and courage simply by looking into her eyes.
