An amazing woman with a life worth celebrating. Grandma Alice always had endless patience with my myriad of questions. From a faith standpoint, she pointed me to Jesus with a simple answer on why she didn't go to confession. "I can go directly to God because of Jesus". I was soooo jealous. :)She also taught me to never be afraid of things seen or unseen. The only power anything has over us is what we give it. When asked about Pop-pop and the first time she remembered seeing him, she replied, "Well, the first time he really saw me was when I wore my swimsuit on the way to the swimming hole". When asked about an historical event she remembered, she replied, "My world stopped for a few minutes when I heard FDR died, I thought the world would end .. It didn't, God was still in control." Thank you Grandma for the lessons and love you shared with me. Thank you for always answering honestly. I especially enjoyed our trip around Az. Every time I see the Painted Desert,I too will always see Neapolitan ice cream.
