One of the most kindest and selfless individual I have ever had the honor of knowing. Rest in peace beautiful Alice.
I have known Alice and her family since 1992. Truly a person that will be missed. I’ll especially miss her smile, laugh and humor. She always called me by my nickname “Graz” 🙂 Stay strong Chris, Kathy and Ratko through this difficult time, as well as the rest of the Persic Family-Hugs to all.
I knew Alice through the friendship my daughters held with Chris. Alice had grace, intelligence, purity, a charitable soul. The essence of love was her constant aura. We mortals can never understand the reasoning behind the phrase.. ‘only the good die young’. In Alice’s case, this is an understatement. She embodied all the positive biblical qualities of faith, hope and charity but the greatest of these is charity (love). Alice WAS love and I know her family will feel the void heavily. We can only be thankful for the time we all knew her; to have the privilege of enjoying her beautiful radiant smile. To be in her company for the brief time she had in this life was a privilege. The angels in Heaven will now experience what we did. Until we meet again sweet Alice.
Our deepest condolences to Ratko and family. We will miss seeing Alice working in the gardens alongside Ratko. Forever remember the special memories created.
