I never met Alice in person. Mindy(Matt) she did my nails for years. She talked about Alice and I felt like I knew her. She was always there for her children and grandchildren. I am so sorry for your loss. I will be praying for all of the family.

My condolences to the entire family. Alice was an amazingly fun lady and I always enjoyed the limited time we were able to spend together. I loved her laugh and how she just lit up a room. Sending you lots of love during these difficult times.💖
