Ada will be fondly remembered by her articulate use of the English language, especially the curse words. If you never been ground country cussed out Duncan style, you definitely missed something. People love me cause I'm me and if they don't.... Y'all know the rest. She was strong and week, hard and soft. She believed in tuff love and never bit her tongue about anything. Tough love and thick skin was her specialty.
