Ada held a very special spot in my heart. I was just a girl, when she became my sister-in-law, and I looked up to her for advice, which she always had. She helped me through some tough times. I enjoyed listening to her play the piano, and singing. We had fun together, and I actually stayed in their home when I was in my late teens. We never lost touch with each other, and I am so grateful that I was able to see her last summer, and have lunch with her and Lonnie. I will never stop loving her!
