To the Burnett family, our sincere condolences. Adabelle was a most kind woman. Your family's hospitality and kindness to Lisa-Marie and I in the early 1980's will never be forgotten and is much appreciated. I remember more than once having large amounts of food and drink in Gardena, making us always feel right at home. A sweet lady, a class act.
