Chandler, AZ Sunday, October 3, 2010 My deepest condolences and prayers for comfort are sent your way. As you know, I have not known a day in my life when Alice was not a part of those I hold dear. Hank, I am sitting in my home in Arizona now looking at the photo of that wedding just a little over 62 years ago. I did not know then (at age 3) how honored I would feel throughout my lifetime to be a part of that special day as I preceded Alice down the aisle as one of her flower girls. And I will miss being teased every time I visit Pohocco Lutheran Church as she playfully reminded me, "I know EXACTLY how old you are!" Alice has been a true role model for so many, and I pray that you and Sheila will be comforted by a storehouse of loving memories.Larry & Sharon Betts

North Platte, NE Saturday, October 2, 2010 Hank and Alice were a huge part of our family while growing up on the farm. Grandpa & Grandma Roland & Lorraine Miller's house was the gathering place...Alice's cooking was always spectacular and she always encouraged us to do well in school. I got into collecting stamps because Grandma Miller and Alice always had the neatest collections and helped me start my own. Good memories all around...Hank, my and my family's sympathy is with you. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths" (Proverbs 3:5,6).
