My precious sister, Alp, our joy together was always filled with endless laughter. The Lord gave me you to always share love, joy, the love of Jesus, & the closest bond of a sister's unconditional love. Thank you Jesus for my precious Alp.

In the eight months that she was bedridden, we had the priviliedged of visiting with Sister Alice and Brother Everett on a weekly basis, we would go there to encourage her and Everett, but we would be visiting for hours and we would be the ones who wallked away being encouraged and blessed to have been in there fellowship. They would share memories of their life together, their children, grandchildren and great children, she would talk of the things she would like to be done and said at her funeral, she thought of others, and wanted them to know how blessed she was and how her Saviour was getting her through her last days. She never complained or felt sorry for herself she accepted the fact that her days was numbered, she would spend her days writing and sending cards and notes to the ones the LORD laid on her heart to encourage. What a legacy to leave behind, Rest in peace my sweet sister in the Lord

Alice cared for the poor and needy. This I believe is her legacy.Matt.25: 40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

What our families say...

Altmeyer was incredible in their reliability and conscientious effort to detail. I personally worked from beginning to end with Joseph Limback. What an absolute blessing that was. From the first meeting we had a very easy communication path because Joseph took complete control to oversee our families welfare. Our family couldn’t have asked for better care and comfort of our love one.
