Our condolences to the family members of Alice - most of whom we have met due to "Litzel" having purchased my parent's house and my parents being good friends of Fred & Christel Giese and their children as well as having met Litzel's brothers and her Mother. After the passing of my Father and my Mother having moved back to Calgary we occasionally visited with Litzel. And even after the passing of my Mother, I stopped by occasionally when I was in the area but am sad that I had not done so for a couple of years. The visits were always enjoyable.
My condolences to Alice's family on her death. I am a long time friend and former work associate of Alice's. Family was always very important to her. And as I told her son Michael, he was her everything - her friend and support. She was never happier than when Michael came to visit. My husband Henry and I were very sorry to hear of her death. Many years ago Alice gave me a columbine from her garden. I had complained that the columbine I planted did not survive. She quickly offered to bring one from her garden. It is still growing and thriving in my garden and has multiplied. It is been and will be a constant reminder of Alice. May peace be with you.
The loss of someone dear to us is never easy. We know that the cherished memories that we have of Aunt Alice will keep her in our hearts. Our deepest condolences to all of her family and friends who knew her and will miss her.
