Adele was a very gifted and dedicated Christian educator for many years who demonstrated a deep Christlike love to every child she taught. Moreover, that love was extended to every person she met. Although we mourn her passing, we rejoice that she has been completely healed and lives eternally with God whom she also loved throughout her life. Adele, well done, good and faithful servant.
