Please sing happy birthday to Alice today. She would make people feel very special on their day by calling them up and singing to them. Her cards came often and always with a sincere note. Alice was an upbeat person and she would always have great interest in what was going on in your life. Alice was devoted to gathering people together and food was her bait. She must have fed a stadium full of people over the years. Did you ever witness the love and playfulness that Alice and her grandchildren shared? What a sight. Her faith was wisdom because her hard work and sacrifice will have her love, kindness, and fun echoed by them.
