I am one of the grandsons of OJ Brittingham. I live in Hillsborough, NC, and I saw Addie many times when I was visiting my dad at the store. Addie was much loved by everyone there. My grandad would insist she go home immediately if he thought there was any chance there might be rain at quitting time. Those days are long gone. I remember her fondly.

Denver, I didn't know Addie very well, but always enjoyed seeing her whenever all of our gang got together to eat. She was always so pleasant to be around. I'm sorry for your loss.
