I always enjoyed the visits with Uncle Butch and Aunt Ada. She loved candy and nuts; Christmastime at her house we always got to crack our own nuts and eat candy off her "candy wreath". She was a very special lady and I always loved to listen to her stories. God Bless.

Such a nice lady, I miss her now. I will miss her stories and she always had a good joke. Enjoy your reward in Heaven.

WHERE IS LOVE
Can it be, you do not see
that love abounds as it surrounds.
Love is here there and everywhere
for those who care.

Be still, and feel
Loves's warm embrace
As it shows in your face.
Look with eyes of Love
Feel Power from above.

With heart aglow you will know.
Love is here there and everywhere.
There's so much to share
It flows into your heart
Never to depart.

Ada wrote this poem. I fondly remember her resolve in many arenas. She had a fierce sense of justice and let it me known. Now she is with her "Spite and Malice" friends, Nina and Clara. Peace be with you.

Aunt Ada... I miss you, but I'm remembering all the nights we spent together these past 6+ years. Your stories and jokes will stay with me always. I can only hope that you are with family now, and will be with us in spirit at your Celebration of Life next week end. Thanks for all the caring love and companionship you gave me. Your Loving Niece, "Chip" Linda

It is with sadness but happy memories that I convey my condolences to the relatives of Ada Mae. I was her travel agent at Fleetridge Travel for many years, and we became personal friends along the way. She sure loved to travel, get invovled in civic causes and write the lovliest poetry. The World is a better place for all of us through nice ladies like Ada Mae, and I know she is happily reunited with her dear Butch now. God Bless Ada. Respectfully Margaret Ava Cook
