Aunt Alice was a strong and loving woman who went out of her way to find the good in people, and joy and life. Some of my fondest memories are of her working with her plants alongside of her mother Addie Thomason. While we here will miss her light, laughter and love, we are comforted by the knowledge that she and Momma Addie are reunited, and caring for plants together in a heavenly garden!
