To the Alice Dick Family:

I am so sorry to read about your mother's/grandmother's passing. My son and I stopped by Alice's room in July 2006 when we were visiting ND. Alice remembered me and I had not seen her for 20 years! She gave me a great big smile when we walked into her room. What a wonderful memory. You will all be in my thoughts. Take care!

We will miss Alice but we know that she is rejoicing with your dad and with the Lord. Blessings on you all. Your mom was one special woman.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all in the loss of your mother/grandmother. We always enjoyed seeing Alice when we returned to Munich and usually enjoyed a good laugh. Once when Thomas was a toddler we made a comment and she said,"YOU can't have him...I've only got twelve!" May the Lord comfort you with His love and give you peace.

Our sympathies are with you all. Alice was always on our list to visit on our trips to N.D. She had a quick wit about her. Our sons, Dwight and Doug, always enjoyed going out to your farm and playing with Tom and Dennis. We have many happy memories of her and your family. We are sorry for your loss but know she is in a better place.

Charles & Joyce Unruh


I am saddened to hear Aunt Alice is gone. The last fun memory I have of her is the time we visited at the farm when Gloria was 7 yr.; Jason was almost 5 yr.; and Melissa was 10 months. Aunt Alice enjoyed our children with us. It was there that Melissa began walking! Now Gloria is almost 25 yr; Jason 22 yr.; and Melissa 18yr. We have seen you since then, but that time was special. I am thankful that Aunt Alice knew Jesus and lived for Him.

Love, Jeff and Mary and family
Jeff & Mary Carlson

Love & prayers, Martha Hofer


So sorry to hear of Aunt Alice's passing. I had so hoped to make it to the services. We could not see more than a 1/2 mile,the wind blowing and cold did not help matters. I was so glad Eileen and I stopped to see Aunt Alice in Langdon when I was home in the fall. Alice always had a smile and we always had a good visit. I was the one of her Sunday School students when I was in high school. It would have been great to see you all. It will be hard to think of Alice as not being there. She was our last aunt. I have many memories together over at Grandma Dicks. Blest be her memory and God Bless all you. Our Deepest Sympathy.

Ervin and Bertha Sand


With our deepest sympathy in the loss of your mother. We have many fond memories of your mom as a bus driver and as a parent with students in our classroom. She always seemed to have a smile on her face and brought out the good in those she was around. Our thought and prayers are with all of you.

Jack and Betty DeMaine


Our sincere sympathy in the loss of your mother. She was a hard working woman and a pleasure to visit with when we could.

Duane & Pam (Kingzett) Schuler


Our deepest sympathy to all. Alice was a wonderful lady who always had a smile on her face. We enjoyed the years she was associated with the Munich School as a bus driver and as a parent of several (?)wonderful kids. The last time I was around her was shortly before going into the home and Renay Kalbus and I had taken her to Langdon. She was so much fun and we laughed so much. Jack always shares the many adventures she had as a bus driver too. She will greatly be missed.

Jack and Betty DeMaine
