  1. We are so sorry for the loss of this lovely lady. We go way back as neighbors on farms at New Salem, ND. She was the ultimate hostess at birthday parties. She set out a spread for lunch with her cooking and baking. She was such a dear friend to my parents. We all loved to go visit Alice and Reynold. Our sincere condolences to Renell and the whole family.

  2. Renelle

  3. Renelle, so sorry to hear of Alice’s passing. Have been talking on the phone with her for years. Wish I could have met her in person. Such a lovely, sweet lady. May she be free of pain now and at peace. May God comfort you.
