My warm and deep condolence to Alice ‘family on Alice ‘s passing. We met and became good friends when we attended school at Gallaudet University in Washington DC way back in 1978 – 1980.
I’m so sorry she departed too soon. I have wonderful memories with her. Hope to be able to attend her services then.
I will always cherish the time we had together; whether it was on Gallaudet campus or in her home in Bethesda Maryland. When we were together there was great laughter and she was able to let her hair down and just be “her”. I have missed her since she moved back home; now, we will never be able to see one another.
Good bye friend
