Alice Lawson, at 97, could be lamenting this pandemic, which has challenged her as it has us all. Instead, she maintains an inspiring attitude of gratitude for all that is going well. No stranger to difficult times, Alice lived through WWII in Liege, Belgium. She and her family put together food baskets and delivered them to basements where people persecuted by the Nazis were hiding. Alice became a nurse, and soon after, a “war-bride,” having fallen in love with an American soldier.

The couple lived first in rural Alabama, a far cry from citified Liege. Alice learned a whole new culture in addition to a whole new language. Not only did Alice survive and thrive, she kept her upbeat approach to life through it all: to always be grateful for life and all it offers.
