John, Kathy and family,
Learned of your loss this this week. Your mother was so kind and welcoming, always opening her home and her refridgerator to the neighborhood gang. I remember her as having a positive and patient spirit.
Think of you everytime I wander back to Highland Drive or glance at the “Flyers” street hockey goalie stick hanging in my garage.
Much love,
Joel

Mom,
It is with a heavy heart that I write this. You brought me into this world and enthusiastically became my nurturer, my protector, my instructor and my most ardent advocate. You always let me know just how proud of me you were, just as you did with all your children. You were in your glory when you had all your family together as you had ample love and affection to touch all of us. To say I will miss you just doesn’t capture the essence of my feelings toward you. There is a hole in my heart from your passing, but that hole will be filled with countless fond memories of you that I will always cherish. I am thankful that your suffering has come to an end, but more importantly, the belief that you are in a better place as your faith in our Lord was consistent and strong. May God bless you and may you rest in peace until we meet again.
Your loving son,
John

All our love and prayers go out to you and the kids. Alice was one of the most special women I have known, with such a caring heart and kindness for everyone. I am so glad to have shared so many years of friendship with her due to her love of Avon. With love – Debbie Bowen, Tony & Larissa

To The Family of Alice Borst,
I am sending my condolences to the family along with a message of hope.
The Bible promise at Revelation 21:3,4 will soon be a reality. Also at John 5:28,29 Jesus promise that there is going to be a resurrection.
When Alice is resurrected she can enjoy her vast array of irises. The family can look forward to the best family reunion ever.
Please accept my condolences.
G. Stripling
