Dear Family ~ In such a difficult time, we must all remember to pull together for strength. Nothing is more stronger than that. Aunt Addie’s passing has touched us all. She was a remarkable, compassionate and warm person. She shed light into any room she walked into. Her contagious laughter brightened the darkest days. She was an angel on earth ~ and now in heaven. Simona and I extend our deepest condolences to everyone that had the pleasure of being in the company of such a beautiful woman. We love you all and share in the grief you are feeling. Stay Blessed. Stay Strong. Stay Family.
Addie was one of those people who touch everyone’s life that she meets or befriends. She always radiates a warm smile. My husband, Domingo, & I are very lucky to have known her and consider her a true friend. May you rest in Peace, Love & Happiness, Addie!!!

My thoughts and prayers to all of you to find strength from within at this very difficult time. Cherish all the fond memories you had and keep them deep in your heart to feel the love and the passion you all have for your wife, mother, sister, aunt. Find comfort in your faith in God that Addie now knows the most precious life there is; that with her God.

In my dictionary, “Addie” is a synonym for “delightful lovely friend” and I am so sad to learn this news, but so thankful to have known her for more than 25 years. She brightened every room she ever entered and I treasure my memories of her. She was kind and spunky and generous in spirit and deed. May God’s peace be with her and with Irving and her family.

My prayer and thoughts are with you all. Addie and I lived next door to each other on Cunningham St. Her family was my family and mine was hers. I can still remember her mom calling her Addie Mae Sugarpie Boler when she wanted her to come in. We all used to laugh at that. She may be gone in flesh but not in spirit or your hearts. Look around and Addie will be there to tell you to keep marching on. She is looking down at all of us. She is with the Mighty One now and you will see her again. Just look for her in all that you do. Peace be with you and the family.
