I love you auntie Alice. You’ll be missed
Such a sweet lady with a big heart! Always a joy to be around. Rest in Peace Aunt Alice! You will be missed.
The best of the best. Loved unconditionally. Will miss her so.
She used to watch me when I was a kid. I have so many great memories with her. I already miss her so much!
We already miss you so, so, so much Aunt Alice! We are glad you and Granny are reunited once again and hope you are annoying the heck outta Uncle Larry and everyone else with your antics and shenanigans! Much Love, The Beeman Family
There have been so many great memories over the years with my aunts, uncles, and cousins, and one of my favorite memories with my Aunt Alice was when she had asked me a few years back to take her somewhere one day. So, after she took care of what she needed too, on our way back she asked if I wanted to stop at this gas station that we had passed on the way there to get a fountain drink, and I said, “Sure!” We got our drinks, and there was a greeting card stand located not far from the fountain drinks. So, we decided to check out the greeting cards. They were some of the funniest cards her or I had ever read, and we were back there laughing so loud that when we got to the register we were apologizing to the cashier for being so loud. The cashier was like, “Oh, no worries everybody does that!
I love you with all of my heart, Aunt Alice. I have been sincerely blessed to have been given the time, along with the wonderful memories we both shared that I will always keep close to my heart. God bless you auntie. Rest in God’s peace now.
Your niece, Heidi
Always remember the lake and all the toys she would pull out of no where when we went to see her. Always needed a picture when I saw her. We lost a special part of the world.
