I just learned of Adelene's passing. We grew up as next door neighbors in Clinton, Illinois. She was a dear friend and will truly be missed. Please accept my sincere sympathy.

Mr. James (Brownie) Farr and family, my prayers are here to comfort you in your loss of Adelene(Addy). My friendship that we shared over the years set a tone in my heart that even death could not steal. I am truly glad that I got to know you and Addy and share a brief moment with her. But now GOD has an angel and left me with a memory that will forever linger in our heart.
Love,
Billie and Richard
