My sympathy and prayers to Adeline’s family.
It was a privilege to know Adeline. Thank you for sharing her with us at LHGS.
I will so miss Aunt Adeline. I never knew she had the same love of birds as myself until I visited her in August of 2015. Her Christmas tree full of bird ornaments was delightful! When I was young and visiting her and Ernie with family, she would always let me look at her jewelry. I still have the necklace of red hearts she gave me. She was one of a kind and will be dearly missed by all who knew her.
