My beautiful big sister. You always seemed larger than life to me, and I have worshiped you as long as I can remember. You were wildly funny, coming out with piercing observations en voz alta that made me wince and laugh at the same time - usually in awkward places like the checkout line at the grocery store in full earshot of the cashier or in a movie theatre when everyone else was quiet (that is, when you hadn't fallen asleep). You had such an uncanny ability to look at a person and see in them exactly what it was that made them special. And you would tell them, a thousand times, just in case they hadn't reeeeally heard it the first 999. You taught me how to have a sense of humor, to appreciate the color green, to truly see the beauty in nature, and the crucial significance of leaping into life and love. I think about you everyday, grateful that I had the luck of spending 31 years trailing you and so very sad that I won't be able to share with you things that I really wanted to. I know you are in a better place, but I wish you were here.

Beloved Adrienne, how can it be a year since you left us. We miss you so much. With heavy hearts we try to be grateful for the gift of your life and to treasure your legacy and gifts to us, gifts like your tremendous compassion. You live in the hearts of all of us who love you. May light perpetual shine upon your sweet soul. Be an angel on our shoulders.

Dear Hanings. I did not know until today, and you have all my love and sympathy. I cannot fully comprehend what it actually means that she is gone...The world is a much poorer place, that I know.

Mr.and Mrs. Haning:
I'm sorry to have to write to you so late, but I couldn't bring myself to do it until now. I am a patient of Dr. Van Ginkel's and I met Adrienne there. She was such an inspiration and comfort to me. I looked forward to seeing her every month. I know your life may be a little empty without her, but I want you both to know that you are not alone in your grief. May God continue to richly bless your family and my prayers are with you now and forever.
In Christs Love

To the family of Adrienne.
I first met Adrienne when Dr. Vanginkel hired her.She was so Pretty, sweet, and honest. I spoke with her on many occasions. I remember our last conversation, I had called her at the office to tell her that I just purchased A brand new Harley Davidson. She was so excited to here that and made me promise to give her a ride on my Harley,I promised I would next time I came in for my Visit on July 21. When I came in that day with my Bike I couldn't wait to show it to her. I have been Dr. Vanginkel patient since 1996, In all those years he never shown any emotion but a friendly smile and genuine care for how I was doing.This day he look like I have never seen him before, but before he could speak, my first words where where's Adrienne, I bought my Harley down to give her a ride. Thats when he told me,I was so saddened by her death. I was in shock,sad, that when I left I cried. Cried for a person I never had the time to get to know. But thats the effect she had on people always a smile on that beautiful face of her's. She will be deeply missed, and my heart goes out to her Family. I know she is At peace and is smiling down on you till you meet again.

Dearest Rosie,
I unfortunately never had the pleasure of meeting your lovely Adrienne. I know if she were just half as wonderful as her mother she had to be a very special young woman. My heart and prayers go out to you and your family at her loss. There's little that will ease your pain now....but hopefully the love and care of friends will provide some comfort....you're in my thoughts Rosie...God Bless You.

ADRIENNE,I KNOW YOU ARE WATCHING OVER US,IT WAS WHAT YOU SEEMED TO LOVE BEST IN LIFE. I AM SURE THAT EVERYONE YOU CAME IN CONTACT WITH, ESPECIALLY, ME THROUGH DR.VAN GINKEL.WHEN YOU STARTED THERE,IT WAS DIFFERENT AND SPECIAL, YOU MADE US ALL FEEL SPECIAL, VERY SPECIAL.I JUST HOPE YOU KNOW THAT FEELING WENT FOR ALL OF US. YOU SHARED OUR PAIN AND GAVE US HOPE AND THAT SMILE ON YOUR FACE LETTING US KNOW THAT EVERYTHING WAS GOING TO BE ALRIGHT.
THERE ARE NO WORDS TO CONVEY THE TRUE SENSE OF LOSS TO COMFORT YOUR FAMILY, HOW COULD THERE BE. A LIGHT LIKE YOURS SHOULD STILL BE SHINNING AND I AM SURE IT IS IN A SPECIAL PLACE AND TO HELP HEAL THE PAIN OF LOSS TO YOUR FAMILY AND SO VERY MANY FRIENDS.
MY PHYSICAL PAIN BROUGHT ME TO DR.VAN GINKEL AND THEN YOU CAME ALONG TO HELP HOLD ALL OUR HANDS AND HEARTS AND I PRAY THAT YOUR FAMILY CAN HAVE SOME SENSE OF COMFORT IN KNOWING JUST HOW SPECIAL YOU WERE TO ALL OF US, NOW WE HAVE A NEW PAIN, BUT IT IS YOUR FAMILY THAT NEEDS OUR PRAYERS NOW. NO WORDS CAN EXPRESS ANYMORE THAN THANK YOU, ARDRIENNE, FOR BEING THERE.
WITH LOVING THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS TO YOUR FAMILY.

I just today learned of Adrienne's passing on Dr. Van Ginkel's website. I had no idea that Adrienne was gone. She never failed to comfort me and give me hope. When I wanted to quit, she kept me going. I know that must have been true for so many of us. What a blessing Adrienne was for me and for so many others! I pray deeply for G-d's blessing on Adrienne's family, on all of us who loved her, and most of all, on Adrienne herself. May G-d bless you so much, my beloved friend. I will always miss you deeply. Love, Jeannie

Dale, Nicole and I are broken hearted, taking one day at a time. We are lifted by loving friends, neighbors and family. Thank you for these loving condolences. They mean so much.
At her funeral her Florida friends started a memory box which is full wonderful notes that we treasure, notes celebrating her compassion, her sense of humor and her spiritual growth. I'd like to share one that celebrates her intellect and touches me.
from Mike, a fellow student at FIU:
"Adrienne was an excellent comunicator and had a fierce intolerance for cloudy concepts inadequately explained by professors....and she let them know. She will be missed at FIU's Stemple School for Public Health."
We love her so very much and will keep her spirit with us always. God bless each of you. Rosie (Mom)

Dear Haning Family-
I'm so sorry to hear of Adrienne's passing. I will never forget her spirit, nor her amazing ability to pass joy on to others.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

To the Haning Family,
I met Adrienne through Dr. Van Ginkel and only learned today of the sad news. Within minutes of having met her we had shared some secrets and laughed together as if we were old friends. Somehow I always felt "better" after being with her. Apparently, after reading through this guest book, so did most of those who knew her.
I can only hope that the intensity of your pain will be replaced fully with your happy memories of Adrienne, as soon as possible. A beautiful girl in every way -- I will not forget her.
Sincerely, Dr. Tom Moskowitz

Mr. & Mrs. Haning & Nicole-
I cried last week when my brother called from Peoria to tell me that Adrienne had passed away. Although it has been many years since I saw her, I remember her so clearly. When I was in school at Washington and RHS with Nicole, Adrienne was so kind to me and I thought she was the coolest older sister ever. I remember she had such a breezy, light way about her. She had a great smile and a sense of humor that was always fun and never hurtful. She seemed to glow from the inside out. She used to call me "Hollville" and I still think of her anytime I give someone a nickname.
Please accept my heartfelt sympathy and know that I am thinking of you and wishing you peace.
With Love,
Susan Turow

Dear Dale and Rosie, I am so sorry to hear of Adrienne's death. A parent's most terrible dream. You have poured your love into your kids, and your strong family has actually an inspiration for us. I wish we could be there to hug you tight, but it sounds as if your Miami extra family is hugging you lots.
We love you, and miss you lots.

Dear Rosie, Dale, and Nicole,
Words are truly insuffient to express the sadness that we feel for all of you. As with many other friends and family, we were so charmed by Adrienne and taken with her many wonderful qualities. May her memory be a comfort to all of you now and in the future.
With much love,

When Dr. Van Ginkel told me today of Adrienne's passing I exploded with tears. I've only known her for a short period of time, but the tremendous difference she made in my life is so unbelievable that I will never forget her. A few weeks ago I was feeling very down and I really needed a friendly ear to listen to me and help me and I sat down to call Adrienne but something happened to change my mind. I really regret not making that call. I will never do that again, because you never know what the next day will bring. Adrienne was this amazing bright light and the thought of that bright light going out is so hard to imagine. I send my heartfelt condolences to her family along with prayers for their comfort at this difficult time.

Mr and Mrs Haning,
Deepest sympathies on your loss. I have only known Adrienne a short period of time. But in that time she was able to help a good friend of mine get treatment by calling and empathizing with her. I would go to call on Dr.Van Ginkel, but set aside twenty minutes for her and I to talk. She was a genuinely kind and giving person. My trips to South Miami hospital will be a little sadder from now on, but my life is a little richer by having known her.

My memories of Adrienne are of a truly lovely, loving, smiling friend who had a gift for making one feel instantly at ease in her presence. During our grade school days together, I greatly admired her as a genuinely natural beauty--both inside and out. Her amazing sense of humor and sweet personality made a big impression on me in those early years when so many of us were still discovering who we were as individuals. Adrienne already seemed very mature in her ability to laugh at the inconsequential things and to look on the sunny side. I send my heartfelt condolences to her family along with prayers for comfort at this difficult time.

I had the great fortune of meeting Adrienne just by her doing her job. I am a patient of Dr. Erik Van Ginkel. What wouldn't Adrienne do for me she comforted me a lot when I was having bad days. She had such a lovely personality, She just glowed. I feel deeply for her loss. But I thank God for letting me have the priveledge to have met her. My prayers are now with her family. I want you to know she made a difference in my LIFE. And all for the good. I will truely miss her..

I am deeply saddened about Adriennes passing. We became friends 4 years ago. I really loved her enthusiasm and upbeat spirit. She left Wisconsin to persue her carreer and to be with her family. I wondered if we would ever meet again. We crossed paths again 2 years ago in Greenlake WI. The Greenlake Conference is held in Aug every year and recently I was thinking that maybe I would see her again. I often times think of the people that are dear to me. I will miss her. My deepest sympathies go out to you Dale and Rose and Nicole. You are in my Prayers.

I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Adrienne. She had a personality that was so unique, the world would be a better place if more were like her. She was always upbeat and a person full of energy In the time I have known her I felt that she thought of others first and herself second. She worked hard to get to where is was and her family should be proud of a young woman who brought so much joy to others.
I will miss her and she will always be in my thoughts, to remind me about the good people who are in this world. The kindness of Adrienne has influenced so many in the local community, myself included. I know that that she will be missed by everyone who knew her.

I can't get used to the idea of a world without Adrienne, my beautiful creative zany generous friend. For twenty-five years, since we met in 4th grade at Washington School, Adrienne has made my life joyful with her irrepressible spirit, her wide smile, her unfailing compassion. She had a genius for friendship and the warmest heart in the world. Who else would have stolen two fetal pigs from Biology class and stashed them in her locker? Who else could have introduced me to the music of Simon and Garfunkel? Who else would have sent me a jar of Tiger Balm liniment when I turned 30? There are no words adequate to describe her, or the void left by her loss. I will always feel extraordinarily fortunate that Adrienne was part of my life and part of my family.

The first time Adrienne and I sat down and had a real conversation, she started swaying back and forth, snapping her fingers, beaming smile and calling herself the "no pigment girl." She used to stand outside and curse the sweltering Miami heat and long for Wisconsin winters. She made up silly nicknames for people, like Lambchop. We'd watch movies in her bedroom that we half paid attention to while we confessed our secrets to one another. She loved me to the point that she saved me, she saved my life once. I loved her, more than I can ever repay for the love she's proven to me. Mr. and Mrs. Haning, please accept my condolences about Adrienne's passing. I really loved her, deep in my heart, and she's shown me her love time and again.

Adrienne was one of those amazing people who made you feel as if you were somehow more, simply by being in her presence. Her great, loving heart and unstoppable energy seemed to radiate into everyone around her. She was so blessed with the the gift of being truly unique, brilliant, and interesting; the kind of person you remember and talk about, long after they've moved away, or stopped working with you. I adored her. She has made and indelible imprint on my life and I'll miss her terribly. I love you Adri.

My family was so shocked to hear of Adrienne's passing. I can remember her so clearly from our fun cross country days! My dad is retiring from it in the spring and there is a big banquet scheduled for all of his former Peoria High and Richwoods runners. It would have been fun to see her again. I know this time must be awful for you. Just remember that you now have a new guardian angel watching over you and your family. She will always be with you.

I adored Adrienne from the very first time I met her several years ago - she was undoubtedly one of the most wonderful, brilliant, loving, amazing women I have ever been blessed to meet. I deeply regret that I was not able to spend more time with her, as we had always wanted to. My life will be forever a bit darker and sadder now that Adrienne is no longer here to brighten it with her caring, exuberance, and love, but I am grateful that God blessed me with her presence if but for a brief moment. May He be with her now forever, and bring peace to all those who loved her as I did.
