So sorry to hear of Ms. Alice passing. She was always very special to me. Find comfort in knowing she is at peace and resting.
Please accept our condolences on the loss of your mother. We have known her since we were born. We lived at Tollville until we were eleven and sixteen, respectively. She was a very kind and nice lady. We have a lot of fond memories of her and Tollville.
May you find comfort in the arms of our Lord and Savior,
