    I am so very sorry for your loss. I first met Anice in January 2019; she was my hostess at my first meeting at Wilmington Newcomers. She was kind, sweet and so very welcoming. I will miss seeing her and her warmth. She was a shining star and touched everyone with her grace.

    Please know I'm so sorry for your most profound loss. I was shocked to learn she passed. I worked with her in 2004 in a Great Neck real estate/atty job. She was the only nice and decent person there and she told me I was the only one there she liked. I never forgot her kindness. May you continue to heal and find peace.
