Aunt Ada and Uncle Lehman were the most wonderful people in the world and were dearly loved by their nieces and nephews. Sorry we couldn’t have spent more time with them.

So sorry to hear about the passing of Aunt Ada. I always loved visiting her and Uncle Lehman. Loved eating her wonderful fried chicken. I’m still sleeping under one of her handmade quilts she made me years ago. Such a special lady!
