• I'm so sorry to just find out about Adele, she was truly an inspiration to me! My thoughts of how her husband Jeff has been is now in my head. I have the gifts you gave me and I will always keep them with me.

• Adele, you were one of my most promising inmates. I had faith in you.... if you wouldn't have been under my charge, we would have been friends. I wish I would have known you outside the walls... RIP my friend cause I've always considered you as such!!! - Posted by: Julie (Prison Guard at P4W) on: May 05, 2013

• Adele, it has been almost a year since your passing. The memories of you still linger with bitter-sweet. I still think I should have done something and I failed you my friend. I hold on to things of beauty like your amazing insight to the 'human condition', your wisdom -(yes, you were wise), your patience and your compassion and above all, your search for the Truth. I still grieve in silence...how strange...considering the way you ending your life...and I still talk to you, with hope, for those who are also suffering with labels and oppression (depression). I miss you dearly. Our conversations were not finished my friend. May God hold you in His Hand today and for all eternity. Love, Colette - Posted by: Colette (Friend) on: Jan 28, 2013

• Jeff: I was deeply saddened to hear of your wife's passing. I know it has been many years since we have seen each other but I think of you and pray for you often - especially now as you grieve. You have always been a brother to me. David - Posted by: David (friend) on: Mar 29, 2012

• I met Adele during the time in her life when there was major upheaval and uncertainty surrounding her. At one time, people often thought we were Step-Sisters, we even had the same car; color and all!! She was in my thoughts alot, as was her Mother, Johanna. Johanna, I am so sorry; no Mother should have to experience what you and Adele did. Even though it's been a long time, whenever I look at certain colorful hangers, I think of you and Adele. I am sorry we lost contact;you were always such a welcoming Family! Please accept my sincere condolences, and remember that all of us are human, we all make mistakes, have hardships, "situational desperation"; when we don't know what to do or how to solve our crisis, and can become overwhelmed with pain to the point of being distraught. God Bless you, Johanna; and I am very comforted to know your beautiful Daughter is with my Mother and younger Brother, in Heaven. Respectfully, Charlene - Posted by: Charlene Katazinski (Friend of the Family) on: Mar 15, 2012

• My beautiful friend,...nothing to say, nothing to do! You were an awesome friend to have, your easy going manner.

• Our pathes crossed and connected... How sad for we who will no longer see or hear from you in this world. May peace be with you sweet Adele. - Posted by: liliane (connected) on: Mar 06, 2012

• I had the privilege of working with Adele very briefly at a meeting in 2010. Her story and her experiences touched me deeply. Her wisdom and her willingness to share her thoughts and feelings helped me to understand so much. I will forever be grateful that she was part of my life experience. - Posted by: Diane (colleague/friend) on: Mar 05, 2012

• I am shocked and saddened beyond belief! We had a very special bond under very peculiar circumstances. I will never forget you Adele. - Posted by: Karen Saubak (Friend) on: Mar 02, 2012

• Although I still struggle accepting that Adele has left the human world, I know that she is finally at peace in the spiritual world. I was privileged to get to know Adele from 1997 to 2003 and although we didn't have a lot of contact since that time she very often entered my thoughts with fondness. Adele was truly a special person and anyone who was touched by her has been truly blessed! I am honoured and richer to have known her and to have had her in my life! Jeff, I have not been able to stop thinking of you and the pain and sorrow you must be feeling. My most deepest sympathies to you, Adele's mother, brother and family. May you rest in peace Adele and watch over us until we meet you again in the spiritual realm. - Posted by: Elaine Shelstad (Friend) on: Mar 02, 2012

• May You travel in a good way and may your walk not be hard. I pray the old ones meet you at the doorway. Go blessed and in beauty. - Posted by: Yvonne Johnson (friend) on: Mar 02, 2012

• Adele was one of the most beautiful people I've ever met. She made the best apple cheese cake, spent many hours baking with her, practicing reiki in class, hiking no matter what the weather was, we shared passion for animals. So many memories I will cherish. May you rest in peace. I'll see you on the next plane my friend. Much love and respect that will never change. - Posted by: Amanda Cherney (friend) on: Mar 02, 2012

• In the 6 years that we’d known Adele, I learned to look at certain things differently because of her. To see the beauty in everything and everyone. We laughed harder, loved more deeply and smiled a little more because of her. Adele, if I could give you one thing it would be the ability to see how others saw you, a truly special person. In a bittersweet moment an angel has found their wings. You will be missed. May you rest in eternal peace. - Posted by: illyssa dzama (friend) on: Mar 02, 2012

• Was so saddened to hear of Adele's passing. I will always continue to share your strength and story. Through circumstances one could not even imagine or predict, we meet those who have an impact on our lives, our very being. Adele has had that impact on so many. Jeff, we never met but Adele always spoke of you with smiles and kind words. Last time I saw her was several years ago. She was speaking to others where we first met. Made me smile to see her so happy. My condolences Jeff, and rest in peace Adele - Posted by: Jude Gerrard (friend) on: Mar 02, 2012

• I met Adele in the spring of 2006. She was one of the most genuine people I’ve ever met. She was like a big sister to me and was a wonderful person to talk with, laugh with or just sit quietly with and watch the sunset. I will always cherish our friendship and will miss her very much. My deepest condolences go out to Jeff, mom, family and friends. - Posted by: Rachel (friend) on: Mar 02, 2012

• Who would have known that Monday was the last time I would have heard your voice. I could hear the pain and felt helpless trying to console you. All the should of's could of's would of's can not change the outcome just the loss of a very good friend is hard to take. Adele you were a person who truly touched my heart in so many countless ways and became a true friend that is so rare to find we shared a passion for farm life and animals and had endless talks about both. I could see the love in your eyes when talking about your animals. Adele your sense of humor was pricless, with your infectious smile that litup a room , your generosity was limitless the compassion you showed for others, your words of wisdom were plentiful. Underneath all that saddness I hope you knew how much you are loved by everyone and will be so sadly missed. I know the angels have taken you to a place of peace and true happiness. My sincere condolences to Jeff and mother Johanna - Posted by: Cindy Ducharme (Friend) on: Mar 01, 2012

• I know of Adele because she was a close friend of my daughter Jess. Although I didn't know her personally I feel deeply saddened by her death. Through Jess, I learned to know Adele as a loving, caring, gentle and spiritual person who worked at bringing healing into her life and the lives of others. My sincere condolences to her partner, Jeff and to her mother, as well as to all her friends who loved her so much. - Posted by: Barbara MacCormack (friend of my daughter) on: Mar 01, 2012

• I met Adele at Elizabeth Fry while ICR was renovating their building. To me, Adele was a breath of fresh air, a hot cup of coffee, a friendly chat,and always with a smile on her face. That was something very rare on Selkirk Avenue. I lost touch with her when she moved on but I had the privilege of visiting their farm and hoped that she found peace in the presence of nature. My sincere condolences to Jeff and her mother. - Posted by: Cheryl (Friend) on: Mar 01, 2012

• Adele was a true friend and beautiful human being. Every time we spoke she made me feel better about life, even though we were both frequently suffering, she was always so generous with her love and compassion. There was never a conversation where she did not say, "I love you." Her efforts to overcome her own pain and suffering were so remarkable, as she walked a very spiritual path, wholeheartedly seeking to make peace with herself and the world. I really looked up to her, and always found strength and guidance in our conversations. Her sharp witted humour always made me think she should have been a comedian or writer. Her stories of her animals were also always so entertaining! The chickens, rooster, donkey, goat, cow, cats and horses were some of her closest friends and she received so much pleasure from her life with them. My deepest sympathies to Jeff and Adele's mother, both who loved her unconditionally and provided constant companionship, love and care. I feel very lucky to have known Adele, she taught me a lot about love. I will truly miss her so much. I feel her death speaks to the injustices of our world, and I hope inspires us all to work towards change (both politically and spiritually). May she rest in peace. <3 LOVE LIFT US UP WHERE WE BELONG Who knows what tomorrow brings In a world where few hearts survive. All I know is the way I feel If it’s real I’ll keep it alive The road is long And there are mountains in our way But we climb a step everyday Love lift us up where we belong Where the eagels cry on a mountain high Love lift us up where we belong Far from the worlds we know Up where the clear winds blow Some hang on what used to be They live their lives, looking behind. When all we have is here and now All our lives up there to find. The road is long And there are mountains in our way But we climb a step everyday Love lift us up where we belong Where the eagels cry on a mountain high Love lift us up where we belong Far from the worlds we know Up where the clear winds blow. Time goes by No time to cry Life’s you and I Alive. Today. Love lift us up where we belong Where the eagels cry on a mountain high Love lift us up where we belong Far from the worlds we know Up where the clear winds blow. - Posted by: Jessica MacCormack (friend) on: Mar 01, 2012

• I met Adele when we worked together in 2007, although I didn't know her as long as most her friendship was like we known each other forever. Adele was by my side when my partner died and was willing to run to my house which We lived 5 miles from each other and yet again we lost touch for a bit and when she knew I was moving she was the first person at my door, packing, moving and even moving my stuff while I was away on vacation. No one like her, she helped me in so many ways and that's just who she was. Her passing has left a void that can't be replaced. Adele I truly am going to miss you beyond words, your laughter, our talks, and your friendship. Always loved never forgotten - Posted by: Angela Wall (Adele's Friend) on: Feb 29, 2012

• Adele and I have shared so many things over the years, I feel as though a piece of me is gone. We shared a love of horses, from Sandy to Blue (Ian) and Breeze. Through all the laughter and sorrow she was always a true friend. May you truly be at peace now. - Posted by: Christine (friend) on: Feb 29, 2012

• I was saddened to learn of Adele's passing. May you rest in peace with a free spirit. To the family, my sincere condolences. - Posted by: Gladys Hein (Friend of Adele's mother) on: Feb 28, 2012

• You held a special place in my heart my friend, as you always will. I am saddened and heart-broken with your passing. You made my world a better place. I will never forget the long hours we spent hiking through the woods and meadows, our joy with the treasures we found along the way, the long talks we had in the middle of the night, your wonderful, witty sense of humour. You are one of the finest women I have ever known. The world has lost a treasure. I will always love and miss you. I was truly blessed to have had you in my life. Rest well my friend. - Posted by: Sharon Hohner (Friend) on: Feb 28, 2012

• Such a sad loss to the whole world; I have no words for the depth of grief. Her laugh, her witty sarcasm, her care and passion for all those she knew, was second to none. My sincere sympathies to her husband, Jeff, and her Mom, Johanna. May she finally be at peace. - Posted by: Mel Nimmo (Adele was one of my very best friends. ) on: Feb 28, 2012

• Hebrews 13:2 tells us "Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it.". Adele, my heart shattered when I found out you were gone. I had another long talk with God last night while snowshoeing and I know that you were an angel; you are a gift from God. I hope you knew some of that while here on earth but I know you know that now in the presence of the Lord. I will deeply miss you my friend. - Posted by: Colette (Sister in Christ) on: Feb 28, 2012

• I have not known Adele for a long time, but she was a remarkable person. Anyone who met her would say the same thing. She may not have had the easiest life, but she did the best with what she had. Adele you will be missed. - Posted by: Deanna (friend) on: Feb 28, 2012
