Adrienne was a kind, smart & grounded woman. I remember helping her cleaning her house up in Laplace & our deep conversations. She always had her sons best interest & loved him with all if her heart! ❤ Adrienne is missed! See you in heaven, sister!

Adrienne had a deep laugh and in the 7th grade at Saint Johns, I did everything I could to hear that laugh. We had good times in school. She had me watch men's basketball on Saturdays so I would learn it. A beautiful person.
