I knew Alice from the Low Vision Support Group. She was the most compassionate person I've ever known. Her loss to the world is a great one and she will find comfort beside the Lord that she loved so much.

I last saw Alice about three years ago at Lawrence Memorial Hospital. She was in a wheel chair and appeared to be blind. She knew me and recognized my voice. We had a heartfelt conversation in which Alice offered a number of moving observations concerning spiritual matters, and appeared to be very much at peace with herself and the world. When we parted, she had brightened my day. I will always remember our last meeting with great fondness. Alice was sincere in her beliefs, and will be deeply missed by her many friends and family members.
