To the Windle Family, Please know that Alice will always be in the hearts of the other board members at the Texas Artists Museum, as will Bill. Both of them were so active at the museum, and although there are other volunteers, no one will take the place of either one of them. Alice was such a sweet person, and always wanted to do her part to help us, especially at Art Smart in July. She always had the refreshments ready for the children's break time. She always made the punch for receptions, and had many other duties as a board member. We especially enjoyed seeing her quilts. Alice will be missed by all her friends at TAMS, and elsewhere.
