Knowing Alice for over 30 years at BK was more than an employee-employee relationship...more like two friends
working together with mutual respect. A Lovely lady who
always put up with my habit of seldom getting her job
numbers correct during billing time
.
Her Penguins will miss her! So will I!!!

I will always remember Alice as a true, kind friend. She always stayed positive and loved to share her great experiences in work, travel, and just plain fun. We shared our books like a mini book club. Most of all she was so proud of her family and so full of love. She will always be in our hearts.

Mom, we miss your smile, stories, laughter and unconditional love. You've had a long life of achievements beginning with us, your family, long time friends, wonderful travel adventures, incredible achievements with your work in the home building industry, most notably being the first woman selected to the Court of Honor for the Home Builder's Association of Greater Chicago. You've done so much for so many, finding work for those looking, spending time with those who needed your shoulder to cry on, and just being there to share your time with those who needed your companionship. We can only aspire to live up to the legacy you have left behind. Love you mom.
Your loving son, Gregg
