Alice was my first friend in Cedar Rapids. Our sympathies to you Johnny. Margaret, Ron, and Allyn Leftwich
We were Alice and Eddie’s next door neighbors on dalewood many years ago. Our dog, abby, went to live with Alice after we moved away. Always enjoyed visits with Alice. Although we hadn’t seen her in many years, I think of her often.
