Adele, I have no words to express how much I've always loved you. You became a grandmother for my two kids. I always told you that you had a great part in raising them, giving us all so much love and attention. I cherish all the Jewish holidays, Shabat lunches, and Sundays that we shared together. You will always be with us Adele ... always.

I will miss your wit and wisdom. I will never forget how you called me after my heart surgery. That meant a lot. You were very kind to my Mother-In-Law and for that I thank you.

Please accept my sincere sympathies . May God's holy spirit or active force, equip you with the " power beyond what is normal " to go from one day to the next day. (2 Corinthians 4 : 7 ) Remember : God can help his faithful servants to endure any and every problem they may face.

Adele oh how I will miss you. Our payroll days at David Taylor ,your koogle, and cooking breakfast in the office when working hours of overtime. Your kindness and sincere love for everyone. The joy in your face when you were going to become a grandmother each time. You sure loved your family. I so looked forward to my weekly phone call at work to check up on me and my family. Adele I loved you like a mom. Your passing makes me sad, but knowing your with Aaron now will bring me comfort. A beautiful angel gone from Earth but not from my memories. Love you forever friend
