Georgianna Counterman says:
I’ll never forget a day at the Family Dollar store, when my granddaughter Haley left my side, and ran to your mothers loving arms.
Alice saw the fear in my eyes and explained how Haley knew her. We laughed it off. Throughout the years, I have come to know, a sweet, beautiful, compassionate woman,
Your Wife and Mother, shared Her life that touched so many other’s,including my daughter Krystal and my grandchildren. It’s been an honor to have been on the receiving end of Alice’s everlasting kindness.
She was a gem.
Our sincere condolences to Bob, Bobby, and the Wasniewski Family.
