Love you mom. I treasure the daily phone call we had and it will be a learning period to not pick up the phone each day to speak to you. You were beautiful to the very end and we will miss you.
Wrapping you up in love and prayers.
God has taken a precious angel home. My heart is with the family and prayers surround you all. She was a beautiful person full of life. Her love of life will be the legacy she leaves all who have had the honor to know Miss Alice.
She was truly the best Granny anyone could ever ask for. She always spoke her mind and was the strongest most fierce person I knew. She was always “dressed to the nines” as she would say and loved wearing her jewelry and makeup. She was loved by all. She shocked doctors with her strength. She loved her children to no end and would do anything for them. I’m so glad we got to spend so many summers, and holidays with her. I appreciate all the great memories we made together and I’m so happy my children got to know her. She loved her Old Milwaukee beers “ice cold” and her gumbo “piping hot”. We took her everywhere we went, even on the beach in a wheelchair at 100years old. I will miss her saying “Hey hun”. She is now at peace in heaven with my Pawpaw. She was the rock of our family and will forever be missed. Can’t wait to see her again. Love you so much!
Sorry for your loss. She was like a second mother to me. I loved her dearly. She will be greatly missed.
