Dear Bill,I am so sorry you have lost your beloved Adea. She was a dear friend and close to my heart since Jr. High. I am so glad I got to see you both when I came back here after Jack passed away. Our only consolation is they are no longer suffering and in pain. May God bless you, and you must take care of yourself. You know she would want that. Carol Gentz
