Dear Bob and Jean,
We are sorry to learn of Alice’s passing. You were a caring brother and sister-in-law. We had some things in common, such as her love of lighthouses and of course a great relationship with Bob and Jean. Although we never met her, we know from what Bob and Jean would tell us that she was a special lady . Our sincerest condolences.
The Massachusetts Municipal Lawyers Association extends its most sincere condolences to Alice’s family. Her brother Bob is an active member of the MMLA and would often talk about growing up with Alice in Revere. May her memory be a blessing to her family and friends.
We called you Nana Alice as you took interest in every one. Always friendly to your neighbors at Hyman Towers, welcoming every one with a handshake and a smile.
No one could take your place
To the family of my dear friend Alice. I am so sorry for your loss. I will miss her. A spunky, little lady with a big heart who loved lighthouses. Safe journey, Alice.❤️
