My sister Susan and I were very fond of Alice, and we visited her whenever we were in Quebec.
Alice was a dear friend of our mother Terry Wynne and her sister Joyce Martin. We have many memories of fun times with the Bleau family when we were growing up in Quebec.
Our condolences to all of you and also on the death of your brother Peter.
