I will forever cherish the relationship that I had with Ada. She was such a blessing. I will never forget her. Ada was so very lucky to have you, Bill and Kim Jeffrey. You two did not have to take her in. You did not hesitate to run to her rescue when she needed you. I KNOW that it could not have been easy, by any means and life as you knew it was temporarily on hold. However, you were there for her and you did it. I am grateful that I had the chance not only meet the two of you(Bill and Kim), but to actually get to know who you really are. Thank you for taking such good care of Ada. She was lucky to have you! Love and prayers to the family. I am very sorry for your loss. Ada will be VERY DEEPLY missed.
My Great Aunt Ada is now walking the streets of Heaven with her beloved husband my Uncle Bill, her dear sister Florence Dunbar, my mother Gloria Clark Weaver, and my Aunt Jean Cory. I’m sure Grammy Cruver is there too… imagine what that Family Reunion looks like! Every time I see a Covered Bridge I always stop and take a picture like you and Uncle Bill did. May God welcome you with open arms and may you
Rest In Peace eternally.
Love your great niece,
Susan Clark James XO
My Deepest Condolences to all the family!
