I had Adora as a member of our CORE group at Milford High School. We would meet twice a month and discuss a variety of topics. My favorite memory of Adora was that every time I gave the green light to bring a treat to share, Adora never failed. She always brought treats to share with her classmates. She was a very thoughtful and caring person and loved to make people smile.She will be missed. Adora, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Kevin Price

I was Adara's teacher of Record as well as advisory teacher at South Newton Middle School. She was one of the kindest and thoughtful students I had during my 40 years as a teacher. It was a pleasure to work with her, and her classroom visits and chats were uplifting. One of my fondest memories other than her hugs and smiles was her love of girly things. She loved colored pencils and markers. When it was time to make our advisory flag she was the first to offer her markers and paints to share. When she moved and I would run into her shopping she would always stop me and greet me with the warmest of hugs. She impacted my life in a positive way and I cared for her deeply. I am blessed to have known her. She will be missed by many. My condolences to her parents and siblings. I'm so sad you have to go through this tragic experience. Adara will always be loved.

I was Adara's jr. high ELA teacher in 7th and 8th grade. Boy, did I enjoy her! I will always remember when she first came to MGS she said her name was Anastasia. I told her that we couldn't call her that since that wasn't her real name. But to me, she'll always be my Anastasia who always gave me a big hug EVERY time she saw me. It didn't matter how far she had to walk to get to me, she came to me with open arms. I will truly miss those warm inviting arms and her bubbly personality.
Adara Anastasia marched to her own drum, and boy did she rock it!
Love, Mrs. Bell❤

My condolences to Adara's family. I didn't know her that well, she came over to my house with Alexis and Dominic when we lived in Fowler. In particular, she came to my son's 1st Birthday. If the family can see this please reach out to me I have a few pictures from that day if you are interested in copies. Prayers go out to you and your family.

Rest Easy Adara

I was one of Adara's teachers at the high school. My memories of her will always include her walking into my classroom before the school day started with a smile on her face. We'd catch up about how she was doing in her classes, and we'd part with a hug. She was a hard working student who valued education. I will miss her more than words can say.
