Not sure what to say?

59 years ago I met Ada Rau, we were back yard neighbors and both had recently had given birth to our first sons. We lived there until my son was in Kindergarten when we moved away to Salem area.

Ada Chapman Rau was a classmate of mine at South High. We were in several classes together. She was an attractive and well liked young lady. Very popular because of her warm personality. I am sure she was a wonderful wife to Bill and a wonderful mother to her children. She is in heaven and we will all see her in the near future as we too pass the threshold of death. God rest her soul- A life well lived.

To the Family, I offer my Condolences in the Celebration of Life for Ada Mae Rau.
My Prayers for Strength & Comfort for Friends & Family.
