Scott, I remember your mother fondly from way back when I taught you in third grade at Barber School…such a lovely lady. You were a pleasure to teach and she was a great influence on me. Funny, the little things you remember!
Dick, so sorry for your loss. You were lucky to have her so long. It is tough losing a paren, no matter how long we have them.
To the rest of Alice’s family, she was a sweet lady… our family’s paths were to cross many times over the years.
Again, my sympathies,
Jo Marie (Baker) Gray
