Adele was a beautiful person; her positive attitude and energy was amazing. I played tennis with her while in East Hampton and always enjoyed her presence. It is a sad time for all of us. May the family find comfort in recalling her love while embracing each other now. Marion Rosencrans

I feel honored to have been a friend of Adele's and so shocked to hear of her passing. Adele had the ability to light up a room and was a most compassionate lady. A beautiful, memorable woman. We will miss her.
