Dean Legare - Moose Jaw, SK: Dear Bob and Family, I am so saddened by the death of Adelle. I loved her zest for life, the love she had for her family and her burning testimony she had of the restored gospel. I loved to listen to her play the organ at church. She was blessed with a great talent. Whenever she played a wrong note she made the cutest face and then kept on playing. Today the heavens became brighter because God called one of his special angels home. With much love and gratitude in our hearts, Dean and Marjorie Legare

Cindy Gamble - St. Albert, AB: Dear Gusa Family, I was saddened to hear of the loss of your wife/Mom Adelle.  I so wanted to make it to the service but was unable to.  I was happy though I got to visit with Adelle this past summer on a trip home.  I loved babysitting for you guys and it was always very exciting for me as well when Devon, Stephen, Douglas, and Matthew came along.  I loved it when you guys would go out and Adelle would have her eye lashes and make-up on and look fantastic to go on a date with her husband. She really adored you as you did her. I sat and reread the obituary today and prayed for peace for you all at this time.  I will never forget those chocolates that she made or the wonderful children she raised.
