In memory of a wonderful sister and best friend, growing up together and then the years of talking and laughing together, sharing love of our families. Howard, I know you are lonely and miss her, just want you to know I miss her, too. May you remember the joy and love she had for you. God bless you. Blessings to you. Jo Ann

Howard,

We are so shocked to hear of the passing of Adrienne. We are out of town and won't be able to be at the service but rest assured that our thoughts and prayers are with you.
We'll be in touch as soon as we return next week.

So sorry to hear about Adrienne. I had a lot of laughs with her when she was in Sheridan. "It will be the little things that you will remember - The smiles, the laughter. And although it may seem hard right now, It will be the memories of these little things, That help to push away the pain And bring the smiles back again."
