I knew Sister Adele at Lasalle School For Boys in Albany. She was kind and generous and a good person.

Sister Adele taught me how to read English back in the early 1970s at La Salle. She was a saint. She lived a holy and humble life by example. May God bless her kind and gentle soul and may He keep her close as she was a blessed woman.

Sr. Adele will live in my heart forever. I met her when I was a kid around 1980. She taught me how to play Spades, and proceeded to beat me every time!
My wife and I were fortunate to have visited and eaten lunch with her in June of 2017. I kept in touch with her for all these years and enjoyed receiving her many Christmas cards over the years.
She will be missed by all who had the pleasure to spend time with her.

As I used to tell you - You are my all time favorite nun. You were a constant reminder of what a good person is to be. Joking with you and getting a smile & laugh from you will always have a soft spot in my heart.
You are simply the best. It was an honor and privilege to have know you and experienced the pure kindness that is your soul.
With love and admiration. God Bless.
