I got to meet Adriana at one of her granddaughter's (Lauren) shows and found her to be such a lovely lady. My deepest sympathies with Corinne, Lauren, JP and the rest of the family.

Dearest Sister in Christ',

I know that you would want us "all", to go about our Fathers' work.
The words our LORD' JESUS', spoke.
I know you could not be Happier, You left behind a "Beautiful", Family,
& Friends and will be always in there
Hearts, Souls, or Minds.
You were and still always will be a "Special", part of our lives.
Although we were always far away, you always said, YOU SEE.
"We", were so close. In Spirit.
May OUR HEAVENLY FATHER', SON JESUS', & HOLY SPIRIT'.
BLESSED MOTHER MARY, SAINTS, ANGELS, & HEAVENLY
HOST.
“Welcome”, you Adriana, to The “HOLY KINGDOM”. Of GOD'.
Where you will live “ETERNALLY”, for suffering makes perfect,
And “LOVE”, has no end.
---------
P.S.-Thanks for giving JESUS', mine & Geraldine's message.xo
Until we meet, I LOVE YOU!”WE LOVE YOU”. Barbara Bast

Peace at last. xoxo
