I'm fortunate to have known Adeline through my grandmother, Norma, and will always remember her bright smile and big hello as we would greet each other. She gave me the foot in the door nearly 15 years ago at the company I'm still at today and I couldn't be more thankful for that kind gesture. It's a testament to how she truly cared about others. She will be missed.
