My beloved Aunt and Godmother: May God's love forever be yours. You are home now. I have so many cherished memories of your and Uncle Ponzi's vacations at places where I was living or staying; Washington State with trips to Seattle and Mt. Rainier, Avalon NJ on the shore where we spent every day on the beach and shopping and playing poker, Las Vegas NV where we spent Thanksgiving and saw the Russian Faberge and art collection, Misquamicut Beach many times as a child with Aunt Jo, Sam and Sandy, and the Fall trips to Shelburne Falls which we all loved to do. Thank you for all the memories and wonderful times which will stay in my heart forever.

My Dear Godmother who's lively personality and great laugh will stay with me forever. the family picnics with Alice's sisters and my Grandfather Connie Malinowski were great fun. Their love for each other and love of life made each experience such fun for us all. Through the years we kept in tough, even though I was far away. Talking to her always made me smile, and thinking of her now, I am still smiling. Dear Aunt Alice, you are missed.
