Notes: Our mother, Alice Markland, loved her family, friends and church. She was a great cook and enjoyed cooking for our family. She and our father managed to raise 4 girls, along with working in the garden, canning fruits and vegetables. She sewed and made our clothes when we were younger. With 4 girls in the family, we always had our friends over to spend the night or just to eat supper. Mother always found enough food to go around and fed us great meals. She enjoyed sharing her faith with her Sunday School class and WMU. Her love is still there for us all to remember along with these recipes. By daughters.
