Dear Patsy, Cathy and Family,
So sorry to hear about your mom. It has been a long time since I had seen her but remember her from growing up on River Bend Dr.
She will be in our prayers and now she is in the Lord's hands to walk with Him.

Pat & Family, Sandy and I send our deepest sympathies for the loss of your mom. Margaret always relayed many funny stories of your mom and Shelby...so, even though we did not know her personally, we felt we knew her in many ways. Please know you all are in our thoughts and prayers. I am in BR attending a workshop...so, I cannot attend the services. However, if there is anything Sandy or I can do to help, please don't hesitate to call.

WE ALL ENJOYED WORKING WITH ADELE AT DHH --IN MY OPINION, SHE WAS DEDICATED TO DHH AND HER DUTIES--AND AFTER HER AND MY RETIREMENT--IT WAS AWAYS A PLEASURE FOR GERRY AND I TO VISIT WITH HER AT HER FAVORITE RESTAURANT, THE VILLAGE INN-- OR MAYBE AT BREAUX MART AND/OR WINN DIXIE, HARAHAN.

ADELE WAS ALWAYS A GREAT LADY AND A LOYAL EMPLOYEE. WE ALL LOVED AND STILL DO LOVE HER. HOW CAN ANYONE NOT LOVE ADELE.

OUR PRAYERS AND SINCERE SYMPATHY GO OUT TO THE CAMPOS FAMILY ET AL.
