I remember Mrs. Adair as a very wonderful employee when we worked together at Wyatt's cafeteria in the 1980's. My experiences with her helped to make me a better manager and I will remember her spirit and energy. It was a blessing to have known her. My thoughts and prayers are with the Adair family.

To the family of Mrs. Adairand friends. My heartfelt condolences at this very difficult time in your lives. Words can't express the sadness hurt, pain that you're feeling. But may our Heavenly Father give you peace and comfort. Very encouraging are the words found at Psalm 147:3- He is healing the broken hearted one's.
