Our deepest sympathy to Alice’s family. We had many nice visits with Alice in the past. Always remember her wonderful baking ( rhubarb merangue squares for example) and her gardens. She made my Uncle Mac very happy.
Nice times at the cottage at Seabreeze. Her and Mom’s birthdays a day apart. Many good memories.
She had a good long life and you all will miss her very much.
With Love, Lois Lind and family
