Alice I’m so sorry for your loss. You always deserved the best and when you married Gerald you got it. When I would run into you I could see the love the both of you had. It’s going to be a hard road ahead but the family support you have is amazing. Your family has always had that in them. You’re in my prayers and always in my heart ❤️
