To Alice's Family THANK YOU for having her at the Grenich Home as that is how I got to meet her, My family has been staying at the Grenich Home 30 years plus and when it was my mommies turn that is where we took her. From the very first day 5 years ago Alice always took time to talk to me and share her Love of our God. (my mom can't say much due to her Alzheimer's) But Alice would talk to her and I along with my Family members when we came to visit. I could tell last Sunday when we spoke she was getting tired and Peace was soon coming. Alice is at rest in a beautiful place waiting on us to keep the Faith so we can see her again. I consider it such a Blessing to have met her and how comforting she was to me when I would visit. In Christ's Never Ending Love Scott / Debbie / Christopher McAboy

Dear Bob, Linda & family, It has been so long since we have seen your mom & even the both of you. My memories of her are of a beautiful, Christian woman both inside & out!!! Our thoughts & prayers are with the both of you & all of the family. It does not surprise me to read of the hearts she touched! She surely left the fragrance of Christ wherever she went & with whoever she met. God’s blessings of peace & comfort from us, both now & in the days ahead. In Christian Love, Ernie & Donalda

She was a beautiful person inside and out. She taught me many things as a child. The world is dimmer without her in it. Rest joyfully in heaven Aunt Alice.
