I will be forever greatful for your love and kindness. You helped me with my geneology back in the 80s when I knew nothing about my Progen family.
May God Bless your family until you greet them in heaven. Huggs sweet Aunt Addie.
Love, Cindy Lee

So sad to hear of Addie's death. We got to meet her at various senior activities. She was spirited and fun person to know. Always a pleasure. Our condolences to all her family and friends.
