For the past 12 years we have been so fortunate to spend time with Alice and Harold as they welcomed us into their lives. She added so much pleasure during all of our get togethers and always put laughter into our hearts. She knew how to put a spark in a party and showed so much caring for others. Alice was a wonderful lady and we will miss her. Someday we will meet again and make our pot of sauce.

Harold and family,
May time heal your sorrow
May friends gently ease your pain
May peace replace your heartache
May the sweetest memories remain

I was so sorry to hear of the passing of my dear high school, sweet friend. We were so close in high school. She made me laugh every day. She was a joy in my life unfortunately we didn’t see much of each other past high school just a couple of reunions and that we always loved each other. May she rest in peace This is her favorite. Is that Sophia?
