Alice's Memory Wall

Alice Brink was a very dear friend. Since 1969, she and Virginia Rex and my uncle, Nick Binagge, had lived together for years in group living situations in Battle Creek, Michigan. They became for me, the Three Musketeers. They truly cared for each other and when I came to visit my Uncle, they cared for me as well. They allowed me to become part of their family. I learned many valuable life lessons from them. Truth be told, Alice and Virginia doted on my Uncle Nick, who loved every minute of it. They would ride the buses all over downtown Battle Creek and just have fun going into stores and eating at "the Picadilly". We laughed together at stories of their escapades. Shortly after getting to know Alice and Virginia, I went to visit them as much as I was going to visit my Uncle Nick. Alice was generous to a fault. She would always slip me gas money whenever I came to visit. It was cute when I was a youngster, but a bit embarrassing as I grew into adulthood. Heaven help me though if I did not accept her gift. Alice would buy pop and pizza for housemates, and when she was physically fit, would clean the house and even cook meals for everyone. She was always giving to others. Her loving cat, Kiki Dee, was with her for 20 plus years. Kiki Dee just wandered into the house one day and never left. Alice loved the cat, and spoiled it too. They were inseparable. Alice always spoke lovingly of her family; her sisters, brother and her nieces and their children. She was an impeccable room decorator, and blue was definitely her favorite color. Every time she moved, she would redecorate to the max. She had wonderful taste in artwork and would also proudly display items her nieces had produced for her. I will miss you Alice, but most of all, I will carry your memory in my heart, and that will serve me very well. With love and respect, John

The death of a loved one is the most devastating experience a family can face. At times, the pain of the loss will seem unbearable. Please know that there are friends who care about you and your family during this difficult time and more importantly Psalm 34:18 tells us that "God is near to those that are broken at heart. We pray that Jehovah the God of all comfort is with your family during this difficult time of grief. Questions will come up about why do we suffer and die? Please go to www.jw.org to get satisfying answers to these and other questions about life. Our prayers are with you and your family.
