To Ada's family.
I remember your mother as a very warm and kind lady. Both she and Paul were very kind to my family as our children were growing up in Barrington. Feeding my husband and children during my many hospitalizations and driving the children to Sunday school are only a few of the kindnesses. May you find comfort in knowing that she will be missed by the many people whose lives she touched.
With my sincerest sympathy,

To The Fernald Family,
It has been many many years since I have seen you boys, but occassionally I would see your folks summers when I would come home and visit my Mom in Barrington. My Mom called me to tell me about Ada. Your Mom was such a sweet woman. She was always so personable yet quiet till you got to know her. She was a inspiration to many thru her faith. I always loved your Dad and your Mom. They both hold many memories for when I was young and in Church. I hope at this time of sorrow you embrace the celebration that she is in heaven and your Dad waiting for her. Hold close those precious memories of the times you had as a close wonderful family. May God be with you at this time.
