Just want to start off by saying, "Thanks to the paper for the info. on the story". I'm still can't believe this happen and maybe us (family members) will never know why.
Alice and Hilary will be greatly missed and
My prayers are with Alice's other children (my niece and nephew).
Maybe in time we can find out the answer to questions we still have about this and maybe found out why this happen.

For the family members and friends, I am so sorry. This is just too devastating to not lose one but two. My prayers are with you and you'll be in my thoughts as well.
