I wish I had a copy of the poem that was read at Alice’s memorial service on Friday, because I think it fit her, and the situation, perfectly. As it is, I tried to capture some part of our friendship, and how much I miss her, on my blog (http://theinnerlimits.wordpress.com/2014/06/12/goodbye-part-2/), but I know that it’s just a shadow, and probably only has meaning for me. I wish I could have done more for Alice, because she helped me so much. But i guess all I can say is goodbye.

Thank you all for the love and fellowship you shared with our beloved daughter Alice. She was a kind, funny, quirky, smart, empathetic, beautiful young woman that we will treasure in our hearts forever.

Dear Dr. Duvic,
It’s Holly Clark (Hazlett now). I am so sorry for your loss. I recall visiting your home one day when my son was born…I think maybe you had a baby gift for me. You spoke of your children and I could tell you loved them very much. There is really nothing I can say except you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers…..I am so sad for you.
Holly

I knew Alice well when she lived in Portland, and stayed in touch after she moved to Houston. I can’t believe it. Alice, thank you for every word and for everything wordless. And thank you, Harbeer Sandhu, for writing this tribute, and thank you for everyone who could go in person to celebrate the life of my brilliant, vast-hearted, irreplaceable friend.

I am amazed at her talent and beauty. I didn’t know Alice, but the testaments from her friends astound me. Really what astounds me is that she could do what she did with so much love around her. Just trying to find an answer, I would say AA says it all. I know I’ll be faulted for that, but it seems many artists struggle with this search for creative voice in something outside themselves, and when they don’t have that it’s frustrating. I don’t know. Like I said, I didn’t know her, but it’s certainly disheartening to see such a lovely person, an amazing talent, just go away.

Who wrote

“Read love it’s last rites.
Say to yourself
“This is my heart letting go.””

Were these her passing words?

Alice, from all the comments already spoken, you must have been a very talented and gifted poet. I was impressed by the words others used to describe you. Now you are writing and creating for God. RIP, God Bless, Tom W
