As residents of Spanish Gardens, my wife Annabelia and I were neighbors to the always smiling Alice. Today we think back on visiting Alice and Carol often to play a dominoes-style game, where small tiles with numbers were matched from hand to tabletop. Alice almost always crushed us, well, maybe not Carol, but Alice made it so easy to be defeated. In fact, she made it so easy to be her friend. We were truly saddened to hear that lovely Alice had passed away. She never failed to greet us with a smile, and we send her our smiles today.
