Alice was such a wonderful counselor at Primary Hall. She was one of my favorite counselor, she loves me and never get crossed with me. More like Mother's love. I surely going to miss her. I wish I visited her the time I was on vacation 3 years ago. I graduated 1980.

Your mother loved me when I was in high school at the Iowa School for the Deaf in 1971. I used work for her as an ironing her clothes. I miss her. And your Dad spoiled me too.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.

Your late father was my scoutmaster and I became an Eagle Scout under him. I always have a fond memory of your parents as my "parents" during the Eagle Scout ceremony in 1960.
