Dear Larry, Gary, Debbie, Rhonda and Sam - I was so sad to hear Adele had passed away. I remember all those wonderful family visits at your house. Adele with her deliciouse cinnamon rolls, peanut butter cookies or a sucker bigger than my head to name a few. Rhonda and I dancing to records in her bed room or feeding bummer lambs.
What wonderful memories - Millie (Hill) Carmosino

No words can convey the saddness in my heart. I will always remember Adele as a strong willed, loving and kind woman that always put everyone else first. Growing up, Adele looked after me from time to time and two of the most memorable times was when I had climbed high into a tree and couldn't get down...here comes Adele! I rode on her back as she brought me to safety. And the time when Rhonda was wanting me to play dolls and I didn't want to. So I grabbed a cricket out of the ditch out front and ate it! Here comes Adele! Her words of wisdom, which I will never forget, "Joni, you really shouldn't eat those icky things...your mom will really be mad at me. You don't have to play dolls. Now come in the house, I've made some cinnamon candy". So many more to tell. Adele will always have a place in my heart. I am a better person for knowing Adele, she will always be a positive light in my life.

Auntie,
I love you with all of my heart. I definitely would not be the person I am today without all of the love and support you gave me. I am so grateful I was lucky enough to have you watching over me. You watched me every day while mom worked and finished school. I thank you a million times for everything,
I will never forget all of the amazing food you made, especially your cinnamon rolls :). I will never forget your amazing smile, that brightened everyone's day, especially mine. Your laugh...every moment I got to spend with you was a laughing one. I'll never forget how we would just talk and laugh about anything and everything. I will always cherish our conversations. I will never forget all of the family gatherings and how excited I was just because i knew I would get to spend time with you, see you, and laugh with you.
I will always cherish knowing I am a part of your family and you will always be kept close to my heart.
I love you Auntie,
Katie
