Alice will surely be missed by myself and all of my co-workers at the Pharmacy. She always had a kind word and a smile whenever she came in to the store and even when she would call on the phone you could practically see her beautiful smile. I was very saddened to hear of her passing, she was very special to me even though we didn’t know each other outside of the pharmacy. My sympathy goes out to her dear husband and daughter and of course the rest of the family. Alice touched my heart in the short time that I’ve had the opportunity to get to know her, and I feel very blessed to have had that opportunity. There aren’t very many people on this earth who, like Alice, who bring joy to others even when they may be going through a bad time. I’ll miss her.
Grandma Burkhart left us with many wonderful memories. She was so kind and sweet. She saw only the good in everyone and never met a stranger. She taught us to always have faith and trust in God. Her lessons will live on in the many many lives that she touched. We will miss and love you Grandma…. Lisa, Glen, Kyle, Brad, Krystle, Zoe and Bryson
