Dear Rodney and family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. I (Freda Rath) met Alice at C.T.C. Seward, Ne. and she was so helpful to me. Years later I married and we moved to Yankton - What a joy to meet again. Alice was always so kind and thoughtful and was a big help when we had our baby boy. The memories are still very vivid.
God's rich blessings to you all.
Herman and Freda (Rath) Schamber
Talked to Wayne Knabock today and he mentioned Alice's passing. Rodney and family, you have our deepest sympathy.
