God Bless and my deepest sympathy for the entire family. May she rest in peace and sleep with the angels.
My deepest condolences go out to you and your family in this trying time. I have no doubt that that your mom was a bright star on earth. Even though she has left for “the sky,” I am sure she will still burn brightly lighting your way.
My deepest condolences to the entire Fleming family. Your Mom is now a beautiful angel shinning down & watching over all of you
To my dear “second” family, I send you all my sincerest sympathy in the loss of your mom, Alice. I am sorry that I cannot be there with you to celebrate Alice’s life. She was an amazing woman, and I have years of memories from the time I spent growing up in your home. The years pass and the distance between us is great, but in my heart you all still have a special place. Just the other day I was thinking about your mother, and wondering how life marches on, and how we lose contact with people who were so special to us. She had been a significant person in my growing up years. She treated me with such kindness and grace. I regret that I did not take time to visit her on return visits to North Haven. I talked with my mother yesterday, and she told me that Alice died this week. I pray for your peace and for joy in remembering what a remarkable woman your mom was.
With love, Dawn
Deidre, Alicia & Christine
Your family is in our prayers on the loss of your mom.
Alice was truly a great lady. Her will to live in spite of the many physical challenges she endured and doing so with such grace over all the years is just
amazing. I know she especially loved my mom and dad. My dad told me many times the memories of spending time with Alice and all the Cullen family. She was really a part of the only family he really had. I thank all of you for letting me spend a short time of my life growing up with your family over the years. Our hearts are heavy in Florida and our thoughts are with the Fleming family over the next few days. I am so sorry I won’t be there to celebrate the great life of Alice Fleming.
Our family would like to extend our deepest sympathies to the family of Alice Fleming. We are very sorry to hear of your loss. You are in our prayers.
