Alice always welcomed my daughter and I into her home. I will never forget the day Chris and I delivered her 2 white kittens into her arms. She was always curious as to what was happening in our lives and always greeted us with a smile and a hug. Jacquline and I will miss her.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at your time of grief.
Love,
DeEtte & Jacquline Brahm
