Her
boundless energy and optimism inspired many Americans in Virginia to fight for
what they believe in, their freedoms, their rights, and the American Constitution. Her faith in God was an inspiration to many.
Her
thoughtful, caring, and loving Christian personality shined through, no matter
how dire the circumstances were. She never gave up, she never gave in!
Alice danced
her way through the hearts of many with her flamboyant American flag boots, her
petite and wiry frame, and a warming smile that could charm anyone walking
under a cloudy day.
For Alice,
there was no such thing as a bad time, there were always possibilities to make
things better, to improve someone’s life if we only tried harder. And tried she
did.
Her lovely and
welcoming home to so many friends, always decorated to the rafters for
Christmas, the Chinese porcelains and gardens, resplendent with tropical fish,
are quiet. Her laughter and energy are gone. The tropical fish pond is teeming
with life, waiting for their caretaker who now resides in Heaven.
The
conservative movement and thought in this country has lost a significant member
who loved life, joy, and her family. Her faith in human goodness stays with me
forever. In the face of disappointment, disaster, pain, betrayal, Alice always had
kind words of encouragement for herself and for those who walked in her path.
When we die,
those who are close to us will remember who we were. Alice has thousands of
Americans who will remember her tireless work to support and promote our President
Donald J. Trump and other conservative Americans and politicians. The angels
have gained another ray of sunshine and we lost a dear friend and American
patriot.
This is so sad and a great loss for us all.
ReplyDeleteSo sad for those who miss her here. A new day for her in heaven.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, just beautiful. dear Ileana.... So many, many memories... stretching back years.... right up to our ("illegal") 4th of July parade around our block just last year when Ali and Al brought an unexpected gaggle of cars and folks to support our ESL citizenship families and Manga's new candidacy... Ali had an innate and joyful sense of where the action was... and how to maximize it ,,, and/or create it!...for our beloved America!
ReplyDeleteWith affection and appreciation for your meaningful and wise gift of authorship and friendship, and
God bless Pray and Bunnyhugs
This was a difficult day today for our Dear Alice’s friends and family but Heaven is dancing with JOY and her loved ones welcomed her with open arms!!!
ReplyDeleteIt just doesn’t seem possible that the Hostess with the Mostest is being Eulogized?!? Perhaps you should write a book about Ali and we can share our memories amid the laughter and tears!?! Hugs, Janie Lawler-Savitske (now in Austin, TX)
I cried today again - we lost such a remarkable friend and American!
DeleteGreat idea on the book! Let's put a note to all our email friend lists to send in memories of Alice and how they met and I would love to put a book together, Janie.
I remember Alice's courage at the Clifton Republican Women's club meeting when she stood up to the Muslim women and men who tried to shut down the meeting which would be a presentation on women under Islam. She had great courage to tell them all that this is America and in America we can stand in the public square and say what we please, and if they did not like it they could leave. - J.S.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful remembrance, Ileana...we shall miss Alice terribly!
