She is in a good place now. God bless you for thinking of your sister, and for taking her to the races. If not being to forward....would you mind telling us about the races you took her to? And how did you and her get interested into racing anyway? Not trying to pry into your lives, but according to you....she loved racing....and I thought what you might tell us about why Alice wanted to go watch the races could instill in us a memory of her.

John, it seems like your family has it's trials and tribulations. I am glad that you and Alice had great times together. Great memories.
Is Chris showing signs of improvement? Seems like in and out of the hospital would get old for him. He is still in my prayers.
Hopefully Alice will know of the birthday wishes.
From the desert wishing you and family all the best. :cool:
