Momma passed away September 8th, 2023 after suffering a massive brain bleed not quite two weeks earlier. In that nearly two weeks, our immediate family gathered daily, first in the ICU waiting room before moving onto the SECU Hospice House in Smithfield, NC. We found sharing memories of momma helped pass the day and ease the pain.

It was during those days that I realized I had become the keeper of momma’s stories. I began gathering memories like precious gems washing ashore, rushing to grab each one before it could drift back into my sea of forgetfulness.

When you receive an Alice’s Story product, you’ll find a memory from me on the back of the packaging. This ever-growing collection of stories is my way of sharing who my momma was and keeping her spirit alive.
