Sea Bright! Sparkling sunlight glinting like sequins off cooling blue waters, stirred by refreshing sea breezes. A hometown name with metaphoric qualities so perfectly suited to Adele’s luminous spirit. Such beautiful memories she spreads in her wake.

I did not know Mrs. Johnson personally. We conversed occasionally when I attended art and cultural events at the Black History Museum and Cultural Center of Virginia. She ensured guest always felt welcomed. Her demeanor was calm and professional. Truly a woman of grace. Earth´s loss is heaven´s gain. RIP!

I remember Adele as an eloquent lady with a quiet commanding presence! The scripture says that we don´t sorrow as those who have no hope! To Bill and her daughter and the rest of the family remember this: Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal!
