Ms. Ada was a dear friend to my mother. She cared about everyone and did not hesitate to contact you daily if she knew you were sick. Her kind and caring way has been missed yet it will always be remembered...she has now received her reward in glory with God.

I haven't never met Aunt Ada but I have spoken with her for many of years over the phone... Calling for her niece my grandmother Lucille Jarvis. She seemed to be a loving caring woman cause she called my grandmother almost everyday to see how she was doing. I know Aunt Ada will truly be missed by her love ones and friends. Wipe all the tears for this day Aunt Ada is in no more pain she is living the life of glory free of all hurt and pain. SHERICE JARVIS
