Wish heaven had a phone. So I could hear your voice again. I thought of you today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, and the day before that to. I think of you in silence. I often speak your name. All I have are memories and a picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake from which I'll never part. God has you in his arms , I have you in my heart. Love you Dell.

It has taken me almost a year to try and find the right words to say about my best friend. I'm not sure there are enough words to say what I want to, but here goes.
To say she was caring & loving, true and OK; Wife, Mother, Minister, Counselor, also true but not who she was. Adele was so much more. Determined, feisty, stubborn, spirited, kind, funny, tough when necessary, forceful, fierce in her loyalty, never boring, and open to all things. She took in stray animals and people, all true and than some.
People, no matter what culture, Chinese, Korean, Jewish, Spanish, Russian, would always swear Adele was one of them. No matter where she went people were drawn to her, they would stop her and talk, telling her their life stories and she would simply and patiently listen. Then they would be on their way, having found whatever they had needed.
Trophies, awards, degrees & certificates didn't mean much to her. They were kept on shelves or in drawers. What did mean something to her was her ability to touch others. Like she said when our friendship started, "it will never be boring" and what a ride it has been!
Thank you my friend, I love and miss you.

I knew Adele when her and my dad first met many years ago. She was very sweet and caring. After some many years passed by she sought me out to tell me to come back to my dad and the family. We never met up or had the opportunity to bond as adults but I thank her for always thinking of me and what I meant to my dad. May god cradle her in his light and put her soul to rest. I know she brought us together even now.

To Uncle Dan and Aunt Adele,
Our love is with you. Aunt Adele, you were always so kind and fun to be around. Dad would always light up when he talked to you. We could all see how close you were. I know you are with us still and I am grateful for that.
Love

I could write volumes and still never express all that is in my heart. Throughout my life my mom told me how I was one of God's special gifts, but truly it is she that God gifted to us all. She was, and remains still, a light in the darkness. The lives she touched are countless, each of us changed and better for having known her. She is a shining example that love, above all things, is constant, unbound by time and unconditional. She embraced her path, hardships and all, and drew incredible strength, wisdom and grace from each step she took.
The depths of her patience and kindness were limitless. Quick with a hand to hold, a shoulder to cry on, a wit that would make you laugh until you cried and a smile that melted the hardest of hearts. To say her life was full does no justice. She cherished each moment, each experience and each lesson fiercely. Her challenges were immeasurable and she faced each one with unshakable faith and resolve. There are no words for the enormity of the loss of my mom from this life. In my heart I know she will always be with us, continuing her journey always alongside us as we continue ours. I am grateful beyond words for the gifts she has give me, all that she has taught me and the memories that will carry me through until I am with her again. I love you mom, always.

My Dearest Sweet Sister Adele, Since you have left us, memories from the past have flooded my thoughts. We did our best and as you would tell me, all of these trials and tribulations, we contracted for, made us better persons. Your soul I know was blessed. We relied on each other and no one else growing up. One memorie I have is of us walking on Irving Avenue , in Brooklyn , I asked, Adele what is wrong? You told me that the cloths you wore were hand me down and looked bad and you were ashamed. I said , ADELE straighten you bach, lift your head and look people staright in the eyes, we are good people be proud. I ask you now my sister , wherever you are, to keep your back straight and your head up. Know this my sister,I will join you soon enough. I love you Adele and miss you so much. I hope you are at peace.

Dear family of Adele,
My heart goes out to you and my prayers are with you during this time and always. Adele was a dear friend and minister to me. I only met her in person once, but we talked hours on the phone. She helped me get study groups together in the Scranton area and they are still going strong. I will never forget this gentle lady who always had time for me. I know there will be a time when we are all together when our work here is complete. I look forward to that day to say " Thank you for being you." to Adele.

Pani, What can I say, you alone know how much you meant to me.You welcomed me into the family from the beginning. You were the older sister I never had. I remember that first Christmas together when you looked at me and said I was going into labor that night. I was so tired I just hoped you were wrong, but as usual you were right. You have always been my best friend and my confidant, I will miss you so, I find myself going to the phone to call you even now, and then realize that I can just talk to you without the phone. I love you, and look forward to seing you again. (We have our corner waiting for us)

Dear Dan,
We are so sorry for your loss of Adele. My first impression of Adele was that she was a little firecracker! She was so full of life and energy. Every time that i was around her she made me feel very welcome and made me chuckle. She will be missed by many...

To All who loved her...
And there were many. I am overwhelmed by the outpouring of kindness from Adele's circle of friends, a circle that grew from sea to sea. Adele, too, would be surprised, for she gave not to receive, but to inculcate the lessons of kindness and humanity toward each other. Her patience was laudable, her inspiration profound. Novus became her life; she truly walked the walk.
I had the good fortune to share over two decades with my first mate, but I did not own her. Adele belonged to us all, and she is with us still. Speak to her often, she is right there in our hearts.
I love you, Babe. Farewell.

Dan and Helena,
I am thinking of you and sending you healing light. Adele affected me so deeply and literally helped me to change my life.
I will be forever grateful that I put her in my chart and that she agreed to have me as part of hers.
Love and Peace to you.
I am sending you a letter that I wrote to her the morning of the service. I hope it brings comfort to you.

I love you Auntie Adele, My Aunt .. . My God mother .. . Rest In Peace

Adele it took me 45 years to find you. You are my best friend. I've never laughed so hard, cared so deeply and loved so easily as I did with you. I was truly blessed to have you in my life. You welcomed me with open arms and a big heart. You shared your knowledge, hope and strength with me and I will be a much better person for it. Your unconditional way of approaching lifes adversities will surely be imprinted in the souls of many individuals. May GOD continue to love you and carry you where ever you go. Your sister, your family, your friend. Sisters For Eternity!

I was infinitely blessed to have Adele in my life. Adele passionately loved God. She was one hundred percent committed to seeking the truth and fighting for justice for all living entities. She asked questions - hard questions – and compassionately listened to the answers. She lived what she believed and challenged me to live what I believe. She helped me to grow and become stronger. Adele was spirituality in action. She was my minister, my mentor, my friend and my mother in a past life. I am eternally grateful to her for her unconditional love and the lessons she taught me. She is well and happy on the Other Side now and has a great vantage point to watch over me. My blessed walk with her goes on in spirit. Adele, thank you, thank you, thank you. I love you.

Adele, My heart aches for your family, friends & all those near & dear to you because a huge void has been created in our lives. I have been blessed to have had you in my life and there are no words on earth to describe your gifts of life and living & my feelings about being able to share time with you. You are a mentor, a friend, wise counsel and just plan damn fun to be around. I will miss you, Love Karen.
