To Alyce's family and friends:
Please accept my deepest sympathy. I am so sorry I could not attend Alyce's services. She and I were friends at the Academy of Our Lady High School (Longwood) in the 1950s. (We were homeroom officers senior year, and thanks to Alyce, I had a date for the senior prom.) In later years, she often helped me with A.O.L. Alumnae Association events, particularly reunions of our graduating class. She was a fabulous organizer and a loyal friend. With her warm heart, Alyce did a lot of good in the world, while all the while loving her family and friends. I feel lucky to have known her. Alyce's spirit will remain with all who loved her.

Marge Carroll,
A.O.L. Alumnae president

To the family of Alyce. I worked at Prevention First with Alyce. I truly loved your mother, sister, grandmother. She and I spoke on the phone during the Thanksgiving Holidays this year. I have many great and wonderful memories of Alyce. It didn't matter that she was the CEO/President and I was one of the staff. I will never forget her and the times we spent together. I know you know this, but she told me many times how proud she was of her kids. God is going to have a great time with her in Heaven.

Dear Alyce's Family,
I don't know if you remember me but I knew your Mom from many years ago. We taught together at Little Flower Grade School and I was even in her wedding party. We use to see each other as couples.
I am also saddened on the death of you Father Ed. He was a very nice and kind man. I lost my husband Bill in 2005.
Your Mom was a very lovely lady and I know she will be missed. We lost contact many years ago for what reason I can't remember.
Please know she will be in my prayer. If I know your Mom she is already organizing some commitee in heaven.
Sincerely,
Maryann O'Neill
