I had the pleasure of working with Adriana at Striper Bites, and she was truly such a bright light. Her smile was contagious, and I always enjoyed talking with her. Adriana had such a thoughtful heart..she would always make sure my color on the tablets was yellow because she knew it was my favorite. It was something so small, but it always made my day.
She will be remembered for her kindness and the joy she brought to those around her. Adriana will be deeply missed. Sending prayers and heartfelt condolences to her family and loved ones.

She always added her sweet voice to our home when she visited here! She was my Grandson's girlfriend and in no time at all she felt like a member of our family because we came to love her so very much. We are heartbroken by losing her.
