Always by Michael's side.
Alce was a remarkable human being. I thoroughly enjoyed and respected her in every encounter we both participated in. A true mentor and voice of reason. The Love that was expressed in Alices and Michaels relationship is astonishing. She will always be present in our thoughts and our lives. Love to you, dear Alice.
I am so, so sorry!I’ve thought about and prayed for the two of you and your family for some time now. My heart feels squeezed at hearing of your loss, although I knew it was near. I have to believe we never lose the people we love even to death. They continue to participate and contribute in everything we do, in our thoughts and decisions we make. Their love for us leaves an imprint on our memories. I have warm wonderful memories of Alice. She was a kind, beautiful, caring woman. Know our thoughts and prayers are there and will continue for you and your family.

Alice was universally loved. A simply wonderful human being and a role model for so many.
Alice was a beautiful soul. She was such a dear friend to Cindy and me. We enjoyed being in her company. She kept a beautiful home and was a warm gracious hostess. Our time with Michael and Alice was wonderful. She will be missed. Rest in Peace beautiful angel
Alice was so loved by every member of my family. She had the sweetest smile and the warmest heart. Her memory is a blessing to my family and all who knew her
Michael and the entire Maggiano Family–I was so shocked to learn of Alice's passing. Although I was not close personally, she always greeted me with sincere affection and grace at various NJAJ functions and events. She clearly was a driving force for your law firm's success over the years, and will be sorely missed in her roles as a wife, mother, grandmother, and matriarch of a wonderful family. My deepest condolences and sympathy. May her memory be a blessing.
Sorry for your loss. May her memory always be a blessing to your family.
We extend our deepest sympathy and condolences to the entire Maggiano Family. Alice was such a beautiful soul inside and out. Her wonderful smile could light up a room. She was the matriarch of her family and her memory will forever live on in her children and grandchildren.
To Mr. Maggiano, Joey and Vinny:
I had the honor of working with you all and Ms. Alice several years ago. Alice was our office mom along with Dorothy. Alice was one of the kindest and most down to earth women I have ever met. I looked up to her. My sincerest condolences. I have your entire family in my prayers. Sending loving and light to you all.
Sincerely, Alice (Campos) Zanghi
God Bless Alice who was an incrediby kind and strong woman who lit up every room she walked into with her smile. May she rest in peace.

I have not seen Alice in years, but have fond memories with her and her family. She was a beautiful person that will be greatly missed.
My heart and thoughts have been with the family over the last several days after hearing about the loss of a truly beautiful lady. I was fortunate to meet Ms Alice in my late teens (over 20 years ago) working with the Maggianos. She was someone I looked up to with a huge heart, bright smile, family oriented, caring, loving, nurturing, patient, hard working, handle any task that was put in front of her…. such a dynamic woman! Her memory will be eternal as I know she touched so many people in her life. Rest in Peace Ms Alice ❤️ You always were and always will be one of the most beautiful people I've ever met. Thank you for the opportunity to not only work with you, but to feel like part of your family as you loved and cared for us all. ❤️ Thank you for being part of my life.

I knew and worked with and for Alice on her home and for the office for over twenty years.
Just spoke in the spring when she requested mulch for the properties.
Never let on about her illness. Always smiling and positive. I was shocked when I heard the news.
A wonderful and beautiful person. I could only wish all of my clients where half as nice as Alice.
Rest in peace, Allice.
Alice made an incredible impression on me during the limited time we spent together. My husband is fortunate to be a longtime friend of Michael and Alice, and I only met them relatively recently. Alice was so warm and welcoming, her kindness shone through all she did. She loved talking about family: Michael- the love of her life, her kids, grandkids and her doodle. Her elegance and loving way truly are an inspiration. Surely her family is at a loss without her, but I hope they feel the love and support from all of us who adore Alice. She was an angel on earth, and she is at peace now in a very special place.
Aly and Mike, you have been an inspiration for all that have found love in their lives. You both shone so bright and dwarfed the suns rays, so that the rest of us could simply watch and admire the love in the beauty that emanated from the two of you together.
This really isn’t the end, it’s only the beginning of the love that will carry the two of you throughout eternity‘s grace. You will both sit at the arm of god who will adorn both of you with the glory, and the love that you shared with everyone here on earth. You have been an inspiration for Amanda and me, to follow in your path, for the light is so bright on the path that you created with each smile and passing glance. You are loved by so many who may have thought they knew you, when, in reality, you knew so many souls, that almost all considered you their very dear friends, yet perhaps you knew them in only in passing by.
May the hand of G-d touch both of you. You’ll both be united in eternal love and peace!
Michael, I will be here for you anytime you want to talk.
Stay well, my dear friend.
