I'm writing this on behalf of my parents, Charles and Lila Gumm.  Alice and Horace were a very special couple to my folks.  My mom always enjoyed talking about the KU basketball games with Alice.  They would  call each other before the game to make sure they both were watching.  Then they would call after the games to discuss the game.  Alice was always such an upbeat, great lady and sure didn't look or act her age.  Our sincere condolences to the family, I know she will be missed by many.

I will always remember Grandma's great stories too. The only time I remember her getting angry with me was when I was about 3 and apparently ran right through her flower garden. I have a great appreciation for flower gardens now. I'm at peace knowing she's in heaven, at rest in Jesus' arms  and Blake and I decided she's able to play basketball in heaven when she's not resing and is probably on Jesus' team.

I love you Grandma! I'll never forget your stories either. You were so good at the build-up. Praise God you are at peace and can rest in His arms in heaven. Blake and I decided you must be playing basketball in heaven and you're on Jesus' team.

I offer my sincere condolences to the family of such a sweet and beautiful lady.  As a former neighbor of Alice, I took great pleasure in and have such wonderful memories of helping her with her flower gardens and yard work.  I will remember her for her warm smile and the grace she always exhibited.

I have many memories of your mother through the years. She was always so upbeat and fun to be around. My mother (Ila Hampton) dearly loved her cousin and enjoyed spending time with her. I was always amazed with the dancing that she so loved to do. I think that is what kept her young so very many years. My condolences for your loss. I know she will be missed by many.

Alice was an amazing woman.  She never looked her age!  Always looked lovely and classy, but was always warm and sincere.  I know she will be missed by all of you, but the Lord sure blessed her with a LONG life!

I have so many great memories of you Grandma. You had great stories to share and were such an inspiration. Many of my favorite memories were the times we spent out at the farm. We will miss you but know that we will all be reunited one day in heaven.
