My condolences to you all on your mother's passing. Speirs School and our "old neighborhood" seems like ages ago, and guess it is, but I will always remember Alice's smile. May you all be blessed with the good memories you have of her.

For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
