We never knew a person warmer or sweeter than Adele. She was a wonderful step-mom who we called our Bonus Mom! We miss her dearly and are very sorry that we cannot make the trip to Texas to share in both sorrow for her passing and celebration for her life with those who are near to her.
Adele was a very special lady who cared about her family and friends. We were fortunate and blessed to be her neighbor for 9 years. We are going to miss her.
