Please accept my condolences in the passing of Alpha. she was a very nice person to know and enjoyed talking with her at the nursing home. May you enjoy many memories.
My memory of Alpha is actually from how extremely nice both she and Marvin were to my mother in her latter years. My mother looked forward to their occasional visits and speaking on the phone with Alpha. She made a big difference to my mother (Cora Everett), and I know you have wonderful memories.
Thanks for the nice words in Mom and Dad’s memory
