I want to express my deepest sympathies to you all. No matter how old, a mother is always hard to say goodbye to. May she Rest In Peace and May God grant you all comfort during this time
It's been many years since we got to visit with Adeline but we have wonderful memories of times spent with her. She and Lloyd came to Flagstaff, AZ over 40 years ago. We did some sightseeing and ended the day at Baskin Robbins ...... our 3 kids were young and that was always a favorite treat. We were able to spend some time visiting in KC for family gatherings also. Adeline had such a magnetic personality and children were just naturally drawn to her. We always tried to call her on her birthday and she never missed sending us cards on our birthdays and on Christmas. We'll miss those cards.
We send our sympathy, prayers and love to the family.
Barb So very sorry to hear of your loss. Thoughts and prayers for you and your family.
She was a lovely lady inside and out. My dearest aunt will be so very missed. No longer can I pick up the phone and hear her sweet voice. She was just always there for me. Until recently, we were able to share so many memories of all the family members that have gone before. She was my touchstone. May she enjoy being with those who have gone before.
Dear Elaine and the Dickhut family.....I am so sorry to hear of your Mother's passing. I know she was a very special lady, raising a large family with grace and dignity. May your memories of those happy times sustain you in your grief.
Kathleen, Elaine, and family
