I will miss Adelaide. I have many fond memories of my big cousin’s visits when she stayed with my folks in the country when I was growing up. Lately when we chatted, we had some great laughs recalling some of the craziness of those days. Always a lady, she set a great example for this younger cousin. A long life well-lived and guided by her strong faith in God and the love of her family. Gone but I’ll never forget her. RIP dear Addie.
Your mom was a beautiful person. We enjoyed knowing her for the short time she blessed us with her presence. Our thoughts snd prayers are with you.
Adelaide was very proud of her family, and I was honored to have met her children over the years. I will always fondly remember our Atrium meal times together and also our "walk arounds" on the 2nd floor. Praying for God’s peace and comfort to those who loved her.
We share your loss. My Mom, Zita, always loved talking to Ade. She was so fond of her, particularly her metabolism 😉. She always looked forward to their phone chats and getting up to date on family news. We wish you peace during this time of great loss. Ade and my Mom are together again in paradise. With love and sympathy, Jenn and David
