      Alice was a wonderful Aunt, Great Aunt and Great Great Aunt. She had to accept you into the family! But we all knew she loved us. So thankful for her advice and how she’d let us know what she thought. Her strength and support were always felt. Her arms always open when we needed anything. So thankful to have known this wonderful woman and blessed with her to be known as family. Diane, God Bless you and thank you for your care. How many times “The Schmitt Kids” cherish the memories of Pizza, dumplings, shrimp, and bbq events with you. Be at peace for eternity.

      Diane, I just found out the news yesterday. I am so sorry for your loss. Alice was one of a kind. I will always remember Her from the good old Neubauers days! She was the Queen of the front of the store. She covered for me several times when I came in a little “foggy” from a late Friday night out. She will truly be missed.
