With love to family!
Ada was a True Lady in every way! Ed is so happy you are once again at his side. Ada was so kind and sweet. I never heard an unkind word ever from her. Ada you have gained your wings so fly high, until we meet again!
Ada was one of my favorite people at Groce UMC! She seemed to always have a smile on her face and a kind word for everyone she met! George and family, you are all in our prayers. We know Ed and Ada are happily together again!
George and Ellen, sending hugs/prayers ro you. What a wonderful reunion Ed and Ada are having! We will miss our sweet neighbor.
