Wondered why there was no answer when I called to wish my friend Alice an early Happy Birthday - she'll be spending her 97th in Heaven! I have known dear Alice for 35? - 40? years. I met Alice when we worked at Sears and have kept in touch over the years, Since my move to Florida almost 20 years now, we exchanged cards on special and not-so-special occasions and I called every couple of months - most recently to check on how she was doing. Her wonderful caretaker Anna would update me when I called.
I will always have a smile on my face remembering the laughs and fun conversations we shared over the years. My friend Alice will always be in my prayers.
