When I think about Alice, I think of a word we do not use much anymore, Gentlewoman. Alice was truly "genteel" without the Southern snobbery that sometimes comes with that description. She and I had an affinity for tea and I will always cherish the teapot cozy she made for me as well as the cornucopias that hang on our tree every Christmas. She was the epitome of a kindergarten teacher and I learned so much from her by her interactions with other people. We also connected with our faith in God. Alice walked the walk and talked the talk!! She shared herself and her knowledge without being overwhelming or pushy. My son, Nate, held a special place in her heart and I will never forget the time she read her book, "Mouse in Laurel Hill" to him when he was a boy. She also let him go for a ride on the stairclimber when we visited her.
My world was made so much better for knowing her and I thank God for all the opportunities we had together to sip tea, eat sandwiches, and chat!!
I pray God's comfort and love for her family during their season of mourning.
