Today I am just sitting here thinking about you and wishing I could pick up the phone and talk to you. We were never at a loss for conversation. And then I would say "Want to go to New Riegle" and away we would go. Sounds so good right now. Give my honey a hug from me. Tell him how much I miss him. Take care, Alice !!

Hi Alice, I know it is going to be a rough first Christmas for your son, Jim. The two of you always went to that great hotel for a wonderful meal. You talked about it for days. You and your Jim were so much alike and only had each other. Know that I miss you too. Tell Earl hi from me.
Give Otto (my sweetie) a big hug for me. I miss him terribly, every hour of every day. Love and Blessings to all of you.

Alice, you are going to be missed! Even though we didn't see you after Earl passed just knowing you were still around was a comfort. We so enjoyed your visits here in Naples. I know you enjoyed coming down with Earl and going to all the antiques stores and just roaming around. I will miss your smiling face and your happiness! God Bless. Your granddaughter, Ginger

Dear Alice, I am going to miss you terribly. No more garage sales and no more New Riegle and no more of the many phone conversations including all your intelligent wisdom on how to take care of my health. Miss you already. God Bless.
