Alice

My dear friend Alice Hafner died of lung cancer this past Saturday night. I worked with her for three and a half years at Brickman's.

The three things I'll remember most about her is her strong belief in Jesus Christ as our savior, her unwillingness to pretend to be anyone other than herself, and her love of the color pink.

Here are the events going on in her memory, quoted from the Vineyard Gazette.

Alice M. Hafner of Vineyard Haven died at her home on June 28. Visiting hours will be held at the Chapman, Cole and Gleason Funeral Home, Oak Bluffs, on Wednesday, July 2, from 6 to 8 p.m. Her funeral Mass will be celebrated on Thursday, July 3, at 10 a.m. in St. Augustine’s Church, Vineyard Haven. Burial will follow in Oak Grove Cemetery, Vineyard Haven. Donations may be made in her memory to the American Cancer Society, 1115 West Chestnut street, Brockton MA 02301.

Alice, may you rest in peace, enjoy your new found freedom, and find your home in Heaven.

In memory of Alice for the ext couple days, and in light of the fact that I'll be gone this weekend, I won't be posting here again at least until Monday, July 7th. Perhaps I won't even post until after the Tisbury Street Fair, which is July 8th.

Goodnight.
