January 24, 2014 at 1:04 pmIt is impossible to place a value on my 45-year friendship with Alice. I am sorry I cannot be with the family for her service to personally express my condolences and say a final goodbye to her. Thankfully, I do have a memory to cherish from my last visit with her. I knew as I was leaving that it possibly would be the last time I would see her. As I stood in the doorway of her room, reluctant to leave, my dear friend smiled and blew me a kiss.
I will miss her.
Carolyn
