Dear Mr. Addison and Kim,
I am so sorry to just learn of Mrs. Addison's passing. I learned of Wayne's passing several months after. Growing up in our old Hull neighborhood, I have so many great memories of the generosity, friendship, and kindness your family has shown me. I remember one particular time after my father passed away. I was 14. Mrs Addison have me the warmest hug and incredibly kind words I still remember to this day - 39 years later. Mrs. Addison was the one neighborhood parent that could quickly and succintly see through an explanation or excuse. As kids growing up, the Addison home was the most welcoming and fun. And Mrs. Addison provided the tone and expectation for our behavior. A no-nonsense woman whom was an integral part of the fabric of our neighborhood and my childhood.
A legacy may be viewed by the lives and times impacted by a person. I think Mrs. Addison's legacy is about the values she lived and example set for each life she touched - even for a neighborhood kid from Hull, a long time ago.
On behalf of my Brothers and Mom, please accept our sincere condolences.
Christina Bonisolli
