Adelia made me feel so welcome when I first moved here as a young newlywed. We had lots of laughing moments and I will always remember her. Eternal rest grant unto her Lord and let perpetual light shine upon her!

Dee will be missed by many, including myself. She was so giving, so helpful to so many. On this "homegoing day." I think she is ever so proud of how the next generation of Moras stepped up and supported and helped the Mora family. The Mora family tradition of Family is alive not only in Dee's brothers and sisters but in their children and grandchildren, nieces and nephews. Dee, a great woman! The Moras, a great Family.
