When I was growing up being able to go to Aunt Addie's and play with the "girls" was one of my favorite things! She always made sure things were fun. Spending the night and being unable to fall asleep she would warn us that she was going to give us sleeping pills. Finally she would make good and give us the dreaded pill (baby aspirin) and right away we would fall asleep. I have enjoyed remembering this so many times. She will always be a wonderful memory to me and a very fovorite aunt.

Aunt Addie was an inspiration to us
all. She always remembered birthdays and always sent cards for
holidays. She always sent postcards from her many visits. We
will miss her so much.

We have a special memory of Addie. When my son started school at Santa Clara he needed a godmother for his baptism. Addie gladly volunteered and each school year afterwards our son would receive a special birthday card from Addie. Now, our son is nineteen but we have many fond memories of Addie. Thank you Addie and God Bless!
