LOVE, LOVE, LOVED Mrs. Alice and miss her so much. I had the opportunity to be at her side for a little over 2 years and was with her more than I was at home and absolutely loved it. I fell in love with her kids and their spouses as well. She had a beautiful and loving family and they all shared a beautiful and loving mother and father as well. I was blessed to have been apart of her, apart of her family and apart of the last memories of her life. She was a remarkable woman and a beautiful angel here on earth and in heaven above as well. TODAY she look so beautiful, so young and so happy and at peace. God definetly took a wonderful/beautiful angel home. We miss and love u Alice. I miss u always asking why I had to leave and go home after being with u, I miss u telling me how pretty I am, how pretty and long my hair is, how pretty my blouses were... u always complimented me numerous times a day and for u, I would always dress with fashion and class just to put a smile on ur face, but most of all, I miss u rubbing my arm, playing with my hair and telling me that u love me everyday that I was there at ur side. U were my best female friend and like a mother to me. U will forever be missed and most of all I LOVE YOU MAMA'S! XOXOX

I remember Mrs. Putz from Townshire Shopping Center: Woolworth's from my early teens. She always remembered me. She was always eager to help. I remember her smiling as we would come through the door and she always helped me especially at the jewelry counter. She was the nicest person in the store and she is the only person that I do remember. Then Woolworths closed and I didn't meet up with her again until my baby brother married into her large but very friendly family. I always thought she was a fine lady and then I met her husband and children and saw just what a great job she did of raising her children and how they all loved her. Her many grandchilren and great grandchildren adored her and I knew why. She will be greatly missed by a whole lot of people,including myself. May she Rest in Peace and God Bless her family during their time of bereavement.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Mrs. Putz was a kind lady. I will think of her whenever I see her cross lit up at night in front of the barn. Seeing it blazing through the darkness has been a great comfort to me when dealing with my own Mom's illness and transit to Heaven.
