Your "family" here in PSL, especially at Lake Charles will miss you very much. Since my own family live in western PA, Alice became my "Mom" as well as my friend, sharing smokes and books while I pretended to work.  I will miss your smile and your humor, Alice.  Be with God.

Love,

Judi McLaughlin
