Thinking of you as you grieve for Adelaide and wishing you peace. I really didnt know her but I saw her often at the center while visiting my mom and talked to her a few times. I could tell she was a sweet lady and loved by all the staff.

I would like to send my condolences to my friend Ken Borg. I never had the opportunity to meet Mrs. Borg or your brothers but felt like I did. You always shared stories and pictures of your family which made me feel like I knew them personally. I know the loss of a loved one is never easy and I pray strength for you and your entire family. I can only say keep her memories alive by always remembering the good times the times you laughed together, had fun with each other. This has helped me every day with the loss of those close to me till this very day. Be strong as you have proven you can be. Your friend from Browning Monique.
