I can hardly find the words to express the love in my heart for this amazing woman. I have NEVER once EVER called her Brenda. It was ALWAYS MOM. She was literally my very FIRST other mother. Crista & I went to elementary school together and instantly became best friends. My parents bowled in the same league with Mom & Grandma & Grandpa Adams for years EVERY Sunday night. Mom was one of the strongest women I have ever met. She never treated me as if I wasn't one of her own & it worked the same way with my Mom & Dad to Crista & Shawna. When she worked at KSC on the Columbia shuttle she had jackets made for Crista & I with the shuttle on the back & our names on them. I still have it & will treasure it even more now. She will be sorely missed! I love you, Mom. "Bethers"
