Ada's gracious hospitality continued well into her 80's. I was on several occasions her houseguest. The breadth of her knowledge was daunting (to ME, anyway!), likewise her vigor. An unforgettable lady.

After hearing about what a wonderful lady she was from Myron and his family, I finally had the pleasure of sitting beside Ada at a family breakfast the morning after David & Holly's wedding.

She was charming and so interesting. I am glad I got to know her a little. What a wonderful life she had.

I know she will live on in the hearts of her family and friends.

I will always remember the visits and dinners at Uncle Sol & Aunt Ada's. My dad (Sol's brother), would always mention on the long drive home, how happy Sol was and how smart Ada was. She was so full of life and will be missed.
