Tony & Kaye and Michael I am so sorry I just found out about this website and the passing of Sister Adams. I would have been there in a New York minute if I would have known. I had just seen Sister Adams and Michael at Kroger right before her moving to Hot Springs. She really seemed excited about going to. I was so glad she was going to be there close to you all. I loved and appreciated her so much in my life time. A very special person to me.
I will be keeping you all in my prayers and will always remember all my friends I had in the Adams family.

Tony, Your Mom is rejoicing today but I know she will be greatly missed. I knew her most of my life. Sidney and I loved her. We pray that God will bring comfort and peace during this time.
Hey Tony, I'm really sorry about you Mom. She was a great lady and I always loved her.
THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS TO EACH OF YOU.
WANDA AND I WERE IN NURSING SCHOOL TOGETHER AND WE HAD A LOT OF FUN AS WELL AS STUDY SESSIONS TOGETHER. HER SMILE WAS ALWAYS THERE FOR ALL WHO NEEDED IT.
Tony and Kay:
Prayers to you for the loss of a loved one.
