Aunt Ada was one of the sweetest and nicest people I've ever known. She also was extremely generous and kind to all who knew her--but especially to her friends and family. Although time and distance mean that I am unable to attend her funeral, I send my deepest sympathies to all my aunts, uncles, and cousins there in the Richmond area. I will miss her along with you.
