Alice was my 1st meditation instructor in New York We also became friends because my daughter was around the same age Noah & we would switch off getting babysitters for them for night events at what was then New York Dharmadhatu, 'depositing' our respective children to whichever home had hired the babysitter, and come to get him/her the next day. I am saddened to hear of her death, but I have no doubt given her practice & service to the sangha, she is bound for a great rebirth!
