"Alice Collins Family, My sympathy to your family. I worked with your Mom at the Fremont Hospital...She was one of the first nurses I followed during my orientation back in June 1982. I will always remember her smile and kindness she showed this "new nurse"....I learned organization skills from Alice that I still use today. God Bless your Family, Susie Krejci"

"Oh, my goodness! I'm so sorry to hear of your Moms passing so soon after your Dad. I can see you kids in that big white house by the Park. I was so amazed by all of the hustle and bustle in that house. You can certainly be proud of your parents. God Bless! Charlene Walter Donnelly"
