Adeline Hesch Dion 1921-2010

I wanted to post this sad news right away so you can make plans to be there if possible.

Adeline was dad's first cousin, the oldest of his Uncle Math's seven kids. All seven had nicknames (see below), and Dad knew her best as 'Mate'. He had to stop and think a sec if we asked about real names...lol

Adeline had the most infectious smile, and she was the one who remembered the name of Paul Hesch's horse....Rowdy. We'll miss you, Adeline!
