One seldom has the opportunity to befriend extraordinary, loving, and amazing people. Alice was one of those people. Nancy and I are so glad that we knew her.

The generosity and love she directed toward our child will always make her special to us.

Alice and Ivan have a permanent place in the hearts of all the Cazalets. The celebration of Patrick's Eagle Scout Award at the Worrell's home is one of our most cherished memories.

Go to God's loving arms, Alice. The world will be a lesser place without you in it.

We met Ivan and Alice through our dear friends, Howard and Joyce Kirk of Leavenworth, KS.  We were instantly attracted to Alice and Ivan for their genuine warmth and personalities.  Our hearts, thoughts and prayers go to Ivan and all the family in this time of loss.  We have been touched by Alice's warm persona and will hold our wonderful memories of her close to our hearts.  We only wish we could have visited them at their home in Sweetwater, TN.

May God bless Ivan and the entire family.

Lee & Connie Doehring, Seward, NE

Ivan and family:

I always enjoyed visiting with Alice.  Never had to worry about "conversation starters", Alice had a story to tell.  When I first came to Sweetwater in 2003, Alice told me a lot about Sweetwater, the community and always talked about her family, where they were and what they were doing, and how much she enjoyed driving the mustang...
