We have so many fond memories of Adeline, Ed and families. We had so much fun when the gang came out to Camano Island, WA. and spent time at the beach, and at Adeline’s Aunt Ann’s house. Adeline was always so interested in the lives of Tim, Tom and Joyce’s families.
How she loved her grandchildren. I know just how much you will miss your Mom, but she will always be in your heart, with happy memories. She was a wonderful lady, we will miss our cousin. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
