Dear Alice was my dad's niece (Hafsteinn Lincoln (Helgasson) Bergen's) and my mom's (Sigurlin Lilja Bergen's) best and dearest friend and relative. She was a dear heart to our family (Elaine, Ethel and Barry Bergen also). We always called her Auntie (even though her mother Laura was our true Auntie) and we were so close to her from the time we were babies, and stayed close to her throughout our lives. She will forever be in our hearts and memories. Goda Nott Elskan Alice. - Posted by: Ethel Bergen (Family) on: Mar 20, 2010
