Joan Willey James, Les, Marie, Alexander;
Your mother was such a kind gentle person, I remember our first meeting in 1976, when registering the boys for Cubs. She was quiet but determined. I admired her stoic humour and devotion to her husband and family. Adeline gave generously of herself to others, Remembering her and each of you in love and prayer.
Sincere sympathy in the loss of your mother. She was family to me for many years and you are all, as is she, remembered fondly.
