To the family of Mrs. Alfieris I send my sincerest condolences. I met her many, many years ago when I worked for her husband John, at his pharmacy in Dr. Rollings office. She was the nicest woman to talk to on a daily basis when she called to speak with her husband and check on him. I'm sure she will be missed by many, many family and friends. May she rest in peace.

Kula was just a lovely person. I worked with her for a number of years. Even doing trying circumstances she was always able to maintain a positive attitude. I never heard her say a negative word about anyone. She was well respected and will be remembered by many whose life she touched.
