"My sympathies to the Smith and Schwanke families. I worked at Green's during summers and holidays while I was in high school during the mid 1950's. I have pleasant memories of working for Alyce, the Green's and the Schwanke's as well meeting their families."

"Alyce Smith was an angel on earth and now she's gone home again. She will be missed but her memory will live on with those who loved her so. She was a bright spot in our lives and while our loss and pain seems huge now, we know she is now pain free and breathing glorious air again. I am so happy and proud she was my aunt and that she was in my life. Jo ( Schwanke ) Heinz"
