I will always cherish what you did for all of us at Parkview and we will never be the same without you. Your crazy sense of humor, your incredibly funny wit and the memory of that sexy little body with the tight short skirts and high heels will always bring a smile to our faces. Adele, you have no idea how many lives you have touched and while we will all miss you so desperately, I for one am glad you are finally out of pain and at peace. I will love you forever. Love, Meg

Adele was a friend from high school who just two years ago I had the chance to speak again. It was like no time had passed. She told me of her illness and we spoke about it, laughed a lot just like back in school during our many sleep overs. I have so many memories that have come back to me today as I read of her passing. I am sorry we did not get the chance to see each other again. My sincere sympathy to her mom and brother.

Adele will always leave a lasting memory for us all. She has touched my life in so many ways. I so saddened by her passing. When I think of her, she is like a shiny new penny. Always smiling & having fun.

Adele, The more you were around people, the more endearing you became. You were the one with all the side splitting jokes and upbeat personality. You were the one with the heart of gold who always took care of your residents at work. You were the one who kept a spotless home and cooked absolutely great meals. You were the one I relied on to make me feel better when I was down. Even through your illness, you had a way about you that set people at ease and you made them laugh!!!! I enjoyed our vacations with you and our many dinners. I am heartbroken that you are gone, but I know in my heart that you are definitely in a better place and you are cracking up the angels with jokes. You were loved by many.
Your friend, Elaine Hughes
