I am so sorry for your loss Mrs. Baker was a beautiful woman who I had the pleasure of knowing. I hope you can have comfort in knowing that she is in a much better place and she touched so many lives while here on earth. I would often go visit her on my days off from work and when randomly passing through town. I was very sad to hear of her passing! You all will be in my prayers.

I met Ms. Alice at water aerobics and learned what a beautiful person she was. I then went to Church with her. I have not been able to see her in sometime, but thought of her often. I know she is out of pain now and will be missed here on earth. My prayers are with her family.

Mrs. Baker will be missed dearly by all who knew her especially my two daughters, Gracie & Emma. They enjoyed their visits with Mrs. Baker rather it was sitting outside in the swing with her, taking her on a ride around the neighborhood on the golf cart or just stopping in to say hello and bring her a flower or little gift. We know Mrs. Baker is in a better place now with Jesus and is not sick anymore and can run and jump and we know she is looking down on us from heaven with that beautiful smile of hers. To the family of Mrs. Baker, you are all in our thoughts and prayers and thank you for sharing Mrs. Baker with our family. E. Stewart
