Alice leaves this poem for all survivors:

Death Has No Bounds

My beloved, I'm going home

Cry for me no more.

I'm at rest now

And entered Heaven's door.

There is no sorrow nor any tears

I'm meeting my Savior

In Him is no fears.

I've gone ahead to my

Heavenly place

And now my beloved

I look into His face.

He has prepared a place for me

This is true

And now my beloved

I'll wait here for you.

For soon His return

Will be here

And in the clouds

With His Son we'll all cheer

You should have seen the way

The Angels carried me from on high

I felt just like a king

Being escorted into the sky.

My task on earth was done

I have a job here to do

I'm in my new home

So my beloved, don't feel blue.

We will see each one again

What Blessed Hope

We have in Him.

Alice is preceded in death by her parents, siblings and grandson Conrad Peterson and son-in-laws Vic Parson and Dale Keene. A graveside prayer service to be held on Saturday October 17th at 1.00pm followed by a celebration of life at the Birchdale community center.
