Not sure what to say?

I worked with Adele at Deaconess Hospital many years ago. She was always a delight to work with and an inspiration to all. I am sorry for your loss

Dear Family of Adele and especially Elaine, I read of the passing of Adele on line in the Mpls. paper and was saddened to hear that news. I have many happy childhood memories of Adele and especially remember her long curls as a child. I remember our mothers going to the Ruth Society and it was special to go there after school. Bob and I live in California.He and his wife and children reside in the San Luis Obispo area and I am in the Sacramento area. I taught in the Mpls. Schools until early...

I went to seminary with Adele and experienced her as very dedicated to God, to her family and her ministy. I remember in particular her struggle with the move to the twin cities. god bless you all

I was inspired by Adele's writings in the Covenant Home Alter for Christmas 2006. December 30th prayer was "to walk faithfully with Him throughout all our days". That she did. She was a messenger.
Lord, be with the family at this time. She will be missed.

To the Cole family - For a time Adele was like our Family chaplin. From the death of my Mothers Father-in-law, Lawrence Myren, then her twin sister Emily Hoff, then my Father-in-law Alex Lakso and finally Emily's son Johnny Pearson. The last two died within a week of each other. She was there with our family through the sicknesses and also officiated at their funerals. We remember her compassion and beautiful spirit and we all mourn her death but we also know she is in a better place. ...

Hello Cole Family: we were deeply saddened to hear of Adele's passing. She was an inspiration to us with her deep faith and positive, loving spirit. You were blessed to have her these many years. Our sympathies, Kris & Doug Killian
