The many visits I encountered was always greeted with her cheery disposition, never heard a complaint. Her paintings were beautiful, reminding me of my aunt’s paintings.
I know Chuck she is looking over you.
God Bless!

Dear Chuck and Family:
we are saddened by the passing of a dear friend
and Mainlands resident. Really enjoyed working with Alyce on the Social Club. She always had a kind word for everyone who volunteered in projects to better the lives of Unit 5.
Her talents as artist and quilter still amaze us to this day. we know she fought a hard and long battle, and her courage encouraged us daily to live our lives one day at a time.
May God wrap your family in his arms and send his angels to help you thru this difficult time.
Mainlands family is here to help and support you and your family in any way we can.
