We just wanted to say how sad we are at the passing of your Mother. We both have good memories of the farm and the days gone bye.
To the family of Alice Roller – we’d like to extend our sincere sympathies and prayers. I remember Alice and Bob when they returned to the White Creek Church from their Montana trips. They were full of life and service to God and country, Anita. Eleanor, we understand the presence of a mother is always dear. We are thinking of you and holding you in prayer, Don & Anita.
I am sorry for your loss. May your memories comfort you in these difficult times.

What a wonderful lady Alice was. I enjoyed visiting with her when they came to Doris and Casey’s. My sympathy to you all.
My sympathy to all of Alice’s family. I know you’ll miss her very much.
We are so very sorry to hear about your Mom’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family and we share in your loss. May your wonderful and treasured memories be of comfort at this difficult time. Remember these special times: all the family get togethers, your Mom’s delicious fried chicken, dressing chickens at the farm, our trips up north camping and fishing, and of course, all the awesome Yellowstone stories. We always looked forward to your folks visits at Carl and June’s as well as their trips to see us in Fremont, and Sioux City. We love the beautiful and cozy afghan Alice made for us–just how many did she make? We are really sorry we will not be at the funeral but we will be with you in spirit. Let’s get together at deer hunting and reminisce over one of those great pancake breakfasts! If there is anything we can do, please let us know. Our Deepest Sympathy, and Love.
Rest in peace Aunt Alice…..Cheryl Theis and famiy.
