Judy, Robert and John
I was proud to serve as pallbearer for Adeline, may she rest in peace. I was honored to know her for a short time but I believe that she knew she was loved and appreciated by all that knew her. May her memory shine bright in your hearts and minds.

John, Judy, and Robert,
Please accept my sincere sympathy on the loss of your mother. I remember her so fondly as a fun and energetic person!
She was a good friend to my mother, driving her to the store for groceries and other errands and then out for coffee; during the summer, to T-Bowl for Robert and me. So much fun she provided me!
Her baking and cake decorating skills were exceptional; she gave me some wonderful memories - she had made for me a violin cake which, when I first saw it, was so realistic I thought I was looking at another violin! There was a "corset" cake for my grandmother and a "paint can" cake for my dad. I could go on and on. As a matter of fact, one of my first baking experiences was making a blueberry pie with your mom and Judy in August of 1969.
Your mother made an exquisite layette for my now 28 year old son, Austin; she was a part of his life too.
She was a generous and kind woman.
I'm sure you will miss her very much.
