    Hey Buddy..I remember you down through the years..always smiling and happy. Especially with a bowl of Stoffers Mac and Cheese Annie made just for him !We both shared a love of freeto corn chips.When I by chance saw him at his Dads home he would “limit’ me to just 12 chips.( A practice I uphold to this day). I relish the occasional discussions we would have about books in the Bible.. He was especially interested in the books of John and Revelation…I remember him sharing tales of fishing trips with brother Sam and his Father, David..Barb remembers when Adam stayed with us as a little kid and how busy he was..a list of friends to see and stuff to do..We will miss you Adam..untill we All meet again on God’s Golden Shores..

    Adam loved all 3 of my daughters. He would come over to see Emily and would play with Hailey who was just a little girl. He was always a gentleman and walked through life as a believer. I’m sure Hailey was waiting for you at the gates of heaven.

    To Adam’s parents and family: I
    With my deepest sympathy and heavy heart, may you find moments of peace and healing in the midst of your grief.
