Alma was a great cook, she had won many awards in high school, she was an amazing gardener “Moe’s Garden” (fondly named) was like a gorgeous peaceful park that you loved to spend time in.

Alma loved to paint, her ocean scenery’s were her best, she was crafty always making adorable presents, ornaments, porch pots, reindeers just to name a few of the many she created.

When Barry and his brother Mark raced their VW Bugs on Ice, she was there biggest fan, always supporting them, in every adventure!
