It's been a long wait, but you have since been reunited with your son Kevin. This coming together seems bitter sweet to me, for there are us, the living, left behind to mourn, while I'm sure you both are bathed in the light of our Lord. God bless, and many prayers continue!

My deepest condolences for your loss. Alice was one of the most beautiful people I have known. Her family certainly had a very special mom, grandmother, great-grandmother. You will see her again I am sure. Be assured of my prayers for you in your time of sorrow. God bless you and keep you always.

Condolences to the entire Barry clan. She was such an important part of my life growing up. I would hear from my brothers that they saw her here or there. I remember all the loaves of homemade bread she would bake weekly for the family. My husband, Bob, expresses his sympathies as well.

Dear Kevin, my condolences to you and your family on the passing of your mother "Alice"! Words cannot express the sadness one feels when a loved one dies. "The passing of a loved one breaks your heart, and time heals broken hearts. My wish for you is that time passes quickly for you and your loved ones during this time of sorrow!"
You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers as well as your mother Alice.
