I am Kathy Rhyan and am sending this for my mother-in-law, Ethel Rhyan who has been a friend of Alma's for more years than I can remember. Some of Ethel's favorite memories are from when she worked with Alma at the ice cream store in Milwaukee. Ethel always felt close with Alma because they were born in the same year.

I had the pleasure of living next door to Alma for the past several years. She was a wonderful woman with a kind heart and incredible spirit. She will be greatly missed ....

My deepest sympathies to her family members left behind .... I will hold you in thoughts and prayers.
