Our family is shocked and saddened by the loss of Ms. Alice. She was a very caring, very wonderful, and very loving neighbor. A holiday never passed without Ms. Alice dropping by our home with gifts for our daughters. She loved our daughters as if they were her own and they loved her as she was a member of the family. She was a blessing to our neighborhood and to our community. The last year she struggled with sickness, but you would have never known. She always had a wonderful smile and kind words. She loved Mr. Steve, her daughters, and her family of pets. We will miss you dearly, we will think of you daily, and we will always remember. We love you. John, Joy, Taylor, & McKenzie Dove.
