Dear George, Phoebe, and Paige,  We just learned today of Alice's passing, and words cannot express our deep sorrow.  She certainly was loved by all her knew her, and her personality reminded me so of Aunt Dede.  Please accept our very deepest sympathy, and you will continue in our thoughts and prayers as you try to go on.  Remember she will always be with you!!

Praying that God surrounds you all during this difficult time. Miss Monteith, as I knew her, was my 1st grade teacher during her 2nd year of teaching.  And, yes, she was my Favorite!  You could tell that she loved her job and loved all of "her kids".  We shared a love of horses and talked about them all the time. I would visit her from time to time as an adult...and was always greeted with a big hug.  Her legacy will live on through all the lives she touched! Rest in peace Mrs. Wainwright. 
Until we meet again...

Im sorry for your loss. Mrs. Wainwright was an awesome teacher! i will always remember pig week and colonial days!!! she made learning fun!!! i loved the fact she even kissed a pig!!!

George and family,
I was so sorry to hear about Alice.  My thoughts are with you.

I remember Alice and George when they visited our farm on a lake in central Wisconsin.  The first time I met her, Alice was just a young woman fresh out of college in her 20's, always laughing with her George.  I kept track of them through the years via my brother Casey.  My sincerest sympathy at this loss.  Strength to you in the days ahead, George and Phoebe and Page.  Kelly Aanrud

I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of such great and wonderful individual.  My sincere thoughts and prayers are with Alice and the family.  May she rest in peace.

George, Sorry about your loss. I didn't know her but I'm sure she was a wonderful person. My thoughts are with you.

She was a beautiful person who I loved greatly. I had her for both first and second grade and she really helped me through an incredibly difficult transition in my life from a very rough childhood and personally helped to inspire in me a vision of life being beautiful and worth living. I will miss discussing Tolkien with her!

George, so sorry to hear of your Alice.  My sympathy to you and your family.

Please accept our sincere sympathy and prayers for your loss. We are all saddened to hear of Ms Wainwright's passing. Ms Wainwright taught 3 of our sons at Robein and she was always one of their favorite teachers.  She had a great way of making learning fun. She will always be remembered by the children whose lives she touched.

Mrs. Wainwright was one of my teachers at Robein.  I have many fond memories of her.  I am so sorry for your loss.  My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

We were very sad to hear of Ms. Wainwright's passing.  She was one of Ryan's favorite teachers at Robein!  She touched many lives in her 34 years at Robein, a wonderful tribute to her.

George, Phoebe, and Paige,  Please accept our condolences on the loss of Alice.  You are in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.

I'm so sorry to hear about my first grade teacher passing. Mrs. Wainwright's split first/second grade class was fun and educational. Love and prayers to her friends and family.

My condolences to the family of one of my favorite teachers.  I actually had Ms. Wainwright for 1st and 2nd grade at Robein, back when they had split classes.  She was a great teacher and made learning fun. 

Sincerely,
Melissa (Johnson) Stevenson

Mrs. Wainwright was my teacher 25 years ago and I still remember her energy and how her enthusiasm was contagious. She had a big impact on many, many young lives, and there is no better legacy to leave behind than that. Saying prayers for the family during this time, I know you must miss her deeply.

George, I was sorry to hear about Alice.  My deepest sympathy to you and your daughters.  You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Rest in peace Mrs. Wainright.  You touched so many lives with your work at Robein.  You will be missed!  Katie (Orton) Jacob

My deepest sympathy is with everyone in your family. I will miss Al deeply, but she will live on in my heart as a truly special friend. Know that my thoughts and prayers are with you through this difficult time.

Dear George and girls, I am so sad that she is no longer here.
We all had so much fun and boy did we laugh.
I felt we were the kind of friend's that did not see each other for along time,
but would run into each other and pick right up.
We watched our kids grow together, we would get together and have some beers, {tequila} was usually brought in.Oh boy was that a hoot.
My heart is hurting for all of you. I have lost a good friend.
I tried to get together, but it just did not work out.
If any of you need anything, please call us.
Alice I am going to have a shot of tequila tonight and this one is for you girl!!!!
With much love,
Jim and Donna

George, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your wife. I'm sure during the last 3 years you both had time to say everything that needed to be said...that is a blessing.

Wainwright family: Our sympathies to you in the loss you are enduring.  Ms. Wainwright was a huge influence in three of our children's lives, and also being the first to find the real problem for one of them.  For that I will be eternally grateful.  Her spirit will live on through stories and memories.  Long live the pigs!!

To meet a lady like Alice
   Was like entering a palace.
Her heart was the door-open wide
   Filled with love-just step inside.
Her eyes were windows
   Sparkling brightly,
Her passion for teaching,
   Was not taken lightly.
Her laugh was hearty
   And very contagious,
Her battle with cancer was 
   Very courageous.
Her arms were like gates
   Encircling and protective
Her teaching ideas
   Innovative and effective.
Alice's new life
   Will never end
So God bless you Alice
   'Till we meet again.
Kathy Bell

You all know how close Al and I were, and thru her, with you. Words fail me, but we all know that none of our lives will ever be the same. I am hoping that I will see you soon, as planned before. Reithel

George, Phoebe, Paige, and all family members, We are sorry for your loss and know each of you will cherish your special memories of Al as much as our family! Her death has left an empty spot in our hearts that will never heal, but she wil live on in our memories. Love and prayers for each of you.

I also had her in second grade, and I'm  very sorry for your loss. Just want to say that every time I have seen a pig statue of any sort I had always thought about her and all her Lil Piggies. I rem when she had brought one in for the class to see. I am 31 and still to this day rem her as a good person and teacher out of the few I had came around with at Robein. So once again I'm very sorry for your loss. Tiffany Murrell( Dokken)

I also had Miss Monteith/Mrs. Wainwright her first year of teaching at Robein.  She was a great teacher.  She will be missed for sure.  She was always excited to be there in the classroom with her students.  You could tell she wanted to teach and be there.  You can't always find that!!!  So sorry for your loss!  I pray for peace and comfort during this time!

Just heard the news! So sorry to hear about the loss! Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. She was a great teacher, and was blessed to have her as my teacher. She went above and beyond as a teacher. Colonial Day and Pig day were unforgetable days in the class room!

George, please know that we send our most sincere condolences to you and your family for your loss. We were saddened to hear of Alice's passing. Words seem anemic at a time like this. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers.

I just heard about Miss Monteith/Mrs Wainwright, I am so sorry for your loss.  I had the privilege of having her during her first year of teaching.  She was a wonderful person and a GREAT teacher.  I would come in and visit her when I was home seeing family.  The thing I remember most about her is her smile.  She was always so happy and so glad to see us kids each and every morning.  I wish that there were more teachers out there like her, they could learn a thing or two from her.

George, Phoebe and Paige: What a beautiful statement made about Alice's life. To meet her was to love her. Alice has been a beautiful lady in body and spirit all her life. My love and prayers go out to you. Laurie Peterson

Jane and Mike
and everyone in your family
I'm very sorry for your loss
You're in my thoughts and prayers
