My deepest sorrow to your family. Alice was a sweet and loving daughter. I loved her smile and her maturity. She is with Heavenly Father now and awaiting her loving family. I wish I could be there for you.

I got to know Alice in Colorado. We used to have a lot of fun going out to eat and to movies. She was fun to be around and loved to be around her family. Even when she moved to Arizona I would call her occasionally and see her when I finally moved to Arizona in 2015. I loved her how she was kind, funny, fun to be around and dedicated to her family. I think of her often but know she is with her Savior. I will miss her!

To The Family, Please Accept My Heartfelt Condolences. Truly the loss of a precious loved one is most difficult. Please find comfort in the promise our most loving Heavenly Father Jehovah God gives us in Revelation 21:4″And He will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more; neither will mourning; nor outcry; nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” Yes, We can look forward to a time soon to come when all suffering including death will be done away with forever.
