Don, Dave and Dave,
I am truly saddened by the loss of your mother and grandmother. I know from personal experiences and interactions with her in past years how truly genuine a loving person she really was.
Although the loss will be hard to deal with please remember that she is now reunited with her best friend and your father, grandfather in heaven.
I wish you all the best and hope the best for you in this hard time.
I think of you all occasionally and will look you up when I am in town next.
Steve
The Shattuck Family,
I’m saddened to read of Alice passing away. Although my time around her was brief I do recall how kind, gentle and sweet she was. I know all of you must be deeply hurt and saddened. Just know that with every new day there will be a bit less pain and more remembrance of beautiful memories.
Take Care and God Bless,

My thoughts are with all of you. I was just talking to Steve Antinore at the Bouckville Antique Show in August when he told me Alice was still around. I only recently moved back to the area and had no idea. Did have intentions of stopping in for a visit. Now it is obviously my loss. She had quite a run. Peace to you all.
