Today we are honoring, celebrating, and remembering Adriana Marie Shadle. She was a young lady of grace and courage, with a stubborn streak that showed up when she set her mind to something, like becoming her own tattoo and makeup artist.

Adriana was truly a best friend to anyone who came into contact with her. We have been humbled by the challenge of describing the fullness of her beauty and caring here today. I don't know how she did it, but Adriana always found the perfect balance between being stubborn and sweet. Even though she was an independent creature, she always found time to travel with her parents to the mountains. That time was sacred to our family. Her love and kindness were infused in everything she did, whether she was taking care of the elderly at Bonaventure- giving those without a family a kind and sweet face to share memories with or expanding her worldly knowledge with concerts, dramas, and the arts.

She had a magical way of bringing joy every time she walked into the room. No one who met her could forget her smile. And we’ll never forget the advice and the lessons she taught us. Her wisdom will forever guide the decisions we make through the rest of my life. We love you, little Stinker.
