Oct 3, 2025Dear Nancy and family: It is with very fond memories of Alice, that I recall the many hours we spent playing on the sandy beach and swimming in the Black River. It was a fun, carefree time for all of us and I will always be grateful to your Mom, Maurine as she taught Elizabeth, Ian and I how to swim. She required us to swim up and down the river one mile before we were allowed to be on the beach by ourselves. Alice always welcomed us with a friendly smile and a sweet giggle. We will remember her and be thinking of you in the coming days. With our love, Gwennie and Jim.

Oct 1, 2025Nancy, Elizabeth, Laura and family: I am so sorry to hear about Alice. Although I haven't seen you or her in some time I have fond memories of our famiiy Thanksgivings and music nights in years past. You may recall that my dad had a very special place in his heart for Alice and she seemed to reciprocate. Loving thoughts, Mona

Sep 30, 2025Dear Alice, it seems so close in time that we spent those happy, carefree, sunny, endless summers at Gramma’s farm. The big kids and the little kids. Taffy. Then, Sammy. Mickey and Baby. We cousins were the luckiest kids there were, weren’t we? Those years are missed. You are missed. Love, Errol

Sep 30, 2025I have many fond memories of Alice from our summers as children growing up at the farm. As there were no distractions like TV, or technology of any kind, we 5 cousins, made our own fun by swimming, hiking through the bush, singing, playing games, and occasionally going to town! Alice was always up for the adventure of play. And Alice loved dogs. It is said that people who love dogs are patient, loyal, empathetic and kind. I’m sure she was greeted by many dogs at the gates of heaven. Sending sincere sympathy to the family, and hoping you’re all enjoying your own memories. Patti & Sandy
