Thinking of you
Adele Miedecke May 21, 2010
Dearest Virginia, I know you loved him beyond measure and now he is in heaven surrounded by angels away from cares and woes. How you must miss his huge presence in your life. Virginia I know from my own time with you how your love and warmth and generosity brings out the angel in everyone who is lucky enough to know you. I felt incredibly blessed and have wonderful memories all the fun times we spent together when you lived nearby. Enjoy all the love and warmth from those that have been touched by you; you are indeed a very very special person.
Love Adele

Burial of ashes - epitaph
Rory May 16, 2010
but the vehicle that unites my soul
with the Creative Essence, God.
My spiritual Being, my love, is
still with you, wherever you are
until forever.
You will find me in quiet moments
in the trees, amidst the rocks,
the cloud and beams of sunshine
indeed, everywhere for I, too, am
a part of the total essence of
creation that radiates everywhere
about you, eternally.
Life, after all, is just a
passing phase.

Helen McCue read this poem during the ceremony conducted by Rev. Bob Thomas for burial of my husband’s, John Adlide, ashes in the sunshine on a fresh, cool autumn morning. Liz Nicolls and her daughter, Lucy, also supported me. Family members were unable to attend on this occasion but sent supporting wishes.

A Man To Know
Walt Raleigh Mar 31, 2010
I met John way back when. We were new-chums in the McDonald system and I guess I was drawn to John because of his no BS approach and contempt of Spin. I felt a kindred spirit and his sense of humour appealed to me and which was an important part of his makeup. We became friends and I was privileged to have him as a guest in my home in Melbourne a couple of times. He was fun to be around.
When I left McDonalds and moved to Queensland we kept in touch for a number of years and when I moved again we lost touch, which I very much regret.
John contributed big-time to everything he had an interest in and one could not help but admire his tenacity and pragmatism, his business acumen was on loan to anyone who asked and those of us who took advantage of it are forever thankful. Ronald McDonald house will forever be his legacy to NSW.
To you his family, my heartfelt condolences but be buoyed in your sorrows, his was a life worth celebrating.
May you rest in eternal peace my friend.
