"Mary Alice is our Grandmother, as well as Great Grandmother to our children. It is unfortunate that we will not be able to attend the services for her. Our thoughts and prayers are being sent to the rest of our family. She was a beautiful person and anyone that knew her knew what a care giver she was and what a kind heart she had. She will be deeply missed but NEVER forgotten! Much love to our family there."
In loving memory of
