As a lifetime season ticket holder of the Kansas City Chiefs, she was thrilled to witness a Super Bowl victory this last February with her daughter and grandchildren.

Adele believed in prayer to be sealed in the Book of Life. Man and his life stand in judgement – decree is recorded – it is sealed – day of atonement – who shall live and who shall die.
