There are not enough sympathetic words in Webster for me to convey to you how I feel about your loss. A year later and I can not believe that "Addie" is no longer among the living. She will always have a special place in my heart. Addie treated the staff at BIMC - MMTP with dignity and respect and we always wanted to come to work. I miss her and I know I will see her again, someday.

I was a high school classmate of Addie at The Bronx High School of Science (class of 1957) and I've never forgotten her warmth, wonderful sense of humor and beautiful smile. My condolences to her family and to her dear ones.

Although we learned of her passing quite by accident, we share the grief of all whose lives she touched. She left us with cherished memories of the six cousins at family parties and picnics and of fun filled days in Jamesport and at Vogt's Beach. She was simply the best - bright, witty, adventurous, and talented. We celebrate her accomplishments - and her life.
Rest peacefully, coz, until we all meet again on a sunny beach.

There are no words that can describe this loss. Addie was a wonderful Administrator but more importantly she was an outstanding human being. Her relationships transcended roles and she treated everyone with dignity and respect. She was not just my boss, she was my friend and I am going to miss her terribly. "Kiddo" we know you are watching us from those pearly gates.

I was truly saddened to hear of Addie's passing. I feel very fortunate that I had the opportunity to work with Addie and I was impressed with her dedication to those who suffered from addiction. She would often remind us that our goal was to help the client who was suffering. I also saw her demonstrate many kindnesses to those who worked closely with her, and I personally was a recipient of her heartfelt concern at a time when I most needed it. My thoughts and prayers and deepest condolences go to her loving family and dearest friend Marguerite. Addie, you will truly be missed.

News of Addies passing has deeply saddened me. Addie was a valued colleague and friend for more than a decade. Her endless compassion for those suffering from addiction was a benchmark for us all to reach for. It was also her great intellect and wit that kept us grounded while she helped us get through those moments when no solution seemed to be in sight. Addie, I feel honored to have known you and will miss you greatly. My deepest condolences go out to your entire family, including Marguerite, whose caring, capable hands led us through so many trying times. May you find peace and love in the arms of the Lord.

Addie was a friend, colleague, cubicle-mate, mentor and advocate. She sometimes served as the big sister which I never had. She was a great worker and example for me as she helped me manuever through the bureauacracy. Thank you Addie, for all your help and good advice. During our cubicle-sharing days, she would always inquire and we would talk about the trials and rewards of raising kids and family, in general. She often spoke of her nieces and nephews some of whom were near in age to my own kids and whom she clearly loved very much and was very proud of. She spoke of sisters and brothers and always of Mom and Dad and holiday gatherings. It was great knowing Addie, she was one of a kind. My thoughts and prayers are with her, her family, Marguerite and other friends. Godspeed, Addie.

I was blessed to have met Addie who had saw things in me that I was too afraid to acknowledge in myself. For those of us who have been touched by the compassion and strength that she offered at Beth Israel Medical Center MMTP this will be a great lost. We will miss you KIDDO.

I have had the privilege and honor of being both a friend and confidant of Addie's. She was a person of great honesty, wit and conviction. My life will forever be impacted by her passing as I had grown to be increasingly dependent on her friendship. She was also a close friend of my whole family. We will miss her physical presence but are thankful for having shared many memories of good times. We will pray for her soul.

Our sympathy goes out to Addie's family and to Marguerite. Addie was like a friend to us, not just a patient, and she will be missed by all of us. We were so sorry to hear this news. We'll keep you all in our prayers.

Addie graced our lives with her wit, keen insight, compassion, concern and interest in others. I have never met anyone who could cut through the "bs" and get to the heart of the matter more quickly than she. She was ever generous in giving advice, guidance and time; so many learned so much from her. The attributes I most admired in Addie were her capacity to love deeply, to care about those whom others found hard to care about and to hope and believe that a person could make things better. Her passing is a profound loss. May you, her family and loved ones, find comfort in memories and the knowledge that her time with us --though far too brief -- is woven into the very fabric of who we are.

I worked with Addie for many years at OASAS and I can honestly say that it was an honor to have worked with her. I found her to be a person of great integrity and principle. She was someone who would back you up and go out of her way to make sure that the right thing was done. I was once fortunate to have Addie help me and her assistance menat a great deal to me.

I wish to extend my deepest sympathy to her familiy. At this time of sdaness, my thoughts are with you.

To Addie's Family & Dear Friend Marguerite

There are no words I can provide that will comfort you during this time. I am a former co-worker of Addie's and my heart is truly broken. Know that Addie was a wonderful woman filled with tenacity to help others, regardless of the situation. I’ll always remember her as a woman on a mission who allowed nothing to get in her way. Her dedication to the addictions field, her co-workers and friends was second to none.

May it give each of you solace to know that Addie accomplished much and requested little. She exemplified unconditional dedication as a civil servant and human being. She leaves a permanent marker with those who knew and loved her.

Addie will be deeply missed.

Addie was a visionary in the Substance Abuse field. Her outspoken wit and humor were only outweighed by her convictions. She will be greatly missed.
