We just learned of Ada's passing. She was my mom's best friend for many decades as their kids were growing up - me included. I recall my mom giving her a baby grand piano which I played in our house for many years, then in Ada's house in Goffstown for a few years after during our visits.

Ada was an amazing lady who will be missed by all who knew her.

A great and beautiful lady, condolences to all the family. Love, Leslie

I met Ada when I became one of her caregivers, my immediate impression was that she was quite a spitfire, I found her very interesting and loved hearing stories about her family She loved dearly. I am so glad I Ada and will miss her dearly. My condolences to all family members and friends.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
So sorry for your loss

My Sincere Condolence Jon and Family.

She was very gracious, and I will always remember her that way. (Carl was...
