Our condolences to the family.
Alma always had a smile in her personally. She had wonderful sense of humor. One of the first memories, and there are many, that I have of Alma, must have been in the late 60s or early 70s. It was Easter and during communion, the organist (Alma) was playing a slow tune. It took me awhile to realize that she was playing Easter Parade; while the ladies were going down the aisle in their Sunday best and hats. Like I stated she had a wonderful sense of humor.
