I read this beautiful tribute by the glow of a lamp that Adina and Linda gave to Barbara and I for our wedding. I was blessed to know Adina through Barbara, and we had many talks about teaching and scholarship as I made my own way through graduate school. My fondest memory, though, is the tutorial that Adina gave me by phone one night about how to bottle feed a baby. I was all thumbs and anxiety when Barbara and I had Sam. Adina was a pro thanks to Gabriel, and she calmly set me on the right path. Adina was a kind, patient, nurturing person with a great sense of humor. Her light shines on in so many ways.
