Condolences

  1. I am saddened by the news of Alice’s passing. I pray comfort and strength for those she leaves behind.

  2. I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved mother. Take comfort in the long life lived and that she is no longer in pain. Your memories last forever-cherish them.

  3. I don’t even have to tell you how much I loved Mrs. Beals. But I will. A great lady and kind friend of the Birdwells. Both she and Dr. Beals were seminal and important people in my life…. As they were in the lives of all they knew.

  4. Bob and Bobby,

    So sorry for the loss of your Mother/Grandmother. She was a sweet lady and I know you will miss her. May God comfort you.

    Connie & Norman

  5. So many nice family memories of my Aunt Alice. Judy and I last saw her I think at our wedding in San Francisco, and our daughter Caitlin never met her.

    After my father passed away, I always could see him in his sister 🙂

  6. Victoria: I clearly remember meeting your mom in Portland and remember her grace, charm and humor which continue to be reflected in you. You were blessed to have her as your mom. Love Jacqueline
