Alyce

Mike's Aunt Alyce died a few days before Thanksgiving.  Jay and Alyce lived in Chicago.  Jay wanted to get together in Alyce's memory.  This is what he was doing instead of a funeral.  Several little gatherings for Alyce.  We had a private room at Epic Restaurant.  Jay had brought scrapbooks of his life with Alyce.  We had a really nice time.

 Alyce
Jay and Alyce were married in 1971.  Alyce was 68 years old when she died.  For years she worked as a High School Counseling Program Director at the Alternative Schools Network in Chicago.  That sounds scary.  Our favorite story of Alyce was, "Alyce loved words and the English language.  She corresponded to several scholarly newsletters, often to correct language and grammar printed in the Chicago Tribune."  Haha!  That reminds me of Maysen!  Poor Jay is sure going to miss her.
