Frances Reid Soap Opera Star Dies at 95, Rest in Peace Alice Horton

I almost feel like I have lost my own grandma. Frances Reid originated the role of Alice Horton on "Days of Our Lives" back in 1965. She was last seen on the show in 2007. Her character is still alive on the show. I wonder how the show will deal with her death? Will they kill off the character? It seems like the right thing to do, memorialize Alice Horton as they memorialize Frances Reid. She was a great lady and she will be missed. Rest in Peace Alice Horton.

Questions to Consider when Selecting an Internet Fax Service

What is an efax? Efax is a way to send faxes without a fax machine and a phone line. You will scan the document and send the fax via the Internet. The difference between and efax and just plain scanning a document and emailing, is that you can send an efax to another fax machine. There are businesses that will only allow you to send documents via fax. What equipment do you need to send an efax? You will need a document scanner, a computer and the Internet. The type of scanner is not very important. If you have an all in one machine (printer, scanner, copier, fax), this will work well. You can save money with an efax by eliminating a dedicated fax line.
