HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR ADRIENNE!
Mark, Ellen and I celebrated you this weekend and I even took a picture of you along so you could sit with us at the table!  You are so missed and life is not the same without you.  If i could ask for 1 wish it would be to have you back in this world with us.  I love and miss your beautiful spirit every day!!!
Linda Lou

I think of you often and still miss you sooo much! There has never been or ever will be anyone who can replace you. I talk to you and say to myself only you can be the person I need to talk about this with; and only you can I be authentic; and only you can í dive deep into what the latest crazy Shit I'm dealing with in my life; and only you would get it; and only you would get me!!

I really hope you are one of the 5 people I meet in heaven. X

Always and forever your friend

Valerie

Thinking of you today and missing your friendship. I am thankful to have known you for 1/2 of my life., but a friend like you is hard to find....irreplaceable... wherever you are I hope that you are smiling with all your animals free from worry and pain!!!
Can’t wait to see you again❤️ Linda

Adrienne, I can't believe you have been gone five years. I think of you often and I moved again! I'm starting to write again. Thank you for sharing your spirit, writing, laughter, and depth with me. Thank you for teaching me how to really live and what's important. Wherever you are, I know you are learning, growing, expanding, and dancing! I'm still trying to find the balance in life and trying to be true to myself. Your creativity and insight is genius! I wish I could hear your laugh again....sending you so much love <3

Whenever i try to come on here and write something my eyes tear up and i cannot see! You were my bestie, my American Sister. We had so much in common that we'd freak out at the similarities. You always said we were sisters in a previous life. You were always drawn to England and went to Stratford upon Avon and had a British boyfriend for a while. You left at the worst time for me when i was separating from Frank and Danielle was going off to Uni. I moved to SB and needed you. 4 whole years i have wondered around this town lonely and missing you. I push it out of my head because it hurts so much. You were the only one who knew my story. My life here and what happened within my marriage and family. I tried to talk to other friends but they never got it. They never really listened like you or had the intelligence or depth to dig deep and trying to figure it all out. I haven't really had a support system to go through it all without you.

I don't know where you are but Thomas John the famous psychic upon calling in named you and said you were here. he named Henry's Beach for God's sake! He said you were helping me. I wish i knew how.

I hope one day we will meet again up there and laugh at all the sillyness going on down here. The way we used to laugh at ourselves and our own sillyness.

I am now moving again and i have a lot of your things that i will have to let go of. I have carried them with me so that you in some way are with me in my endeavours.

I love you girl!

I hope you are one of the 5 people i meet in heaven.
Until we meet again. xxxxx

Happy Birthday beautiful Adrianne.
Never forget you.

Thinking of you today--it's been three years already. Wish you were still here with us on this journey. I can still hear your beautiful laugh and see that amazing smile. Thank you for being in my life. I think of you often and will always remember our discussions and hold onto what you taught me. Love you always!

Happy birthday dear friend.
I hope you are at peace Where ever you are.
Miss you.

Hi Adrienne,

I miss you dear friend and all the laughter and liveliness you brought to all those around you. I miss your wit, sense of humor, and rebellious streak. You have inspired me in so many ways and taught me so much. I hope you see how much of an impact you had on my life. I hope I can carry a part of your spirit and keep what you taught me alive.

Aho,

Christine

Oh!
as a matter of Fact, Happy Bastille Day - Adrienne Basile!

Mousse Odile had a few Doozies of celebrations, eh?
REmember when 'World Market Place' used to be BofA and big back parking lot? and Odile tented that sucker and did a enormous Bastille Day special Dinner. Oye! That was a different Santa Barbara in those days.....Miss them too!

Good Memories.

Thinking of all those early mornings at Mousse Odile, making Quiche!
you always had the best stories and the best laugh.
You left far too early, my Dear.
We think of you much this week, in particular. I appreciate the on-line memorial.

Happy Birthday beautiful you
Miss you. Thanks 4 everything..
.

Dear Adrienne,

Happy Birthday to you, dear friend. I will always have so much love for you in my heart and never forget the lessons you taught me. Thank you dear friend for touching my life.

Love,

Christine

I would love to see that picture. Miss her so much... I think you can leave pictures on one of the other tabs on this site. Hmmm... oh, I took one of the other pictures off so you can share the new one! Thanks for your thoughts... <3

I have a great little photo of Adrienne with our mutual friend, Karen Curtis, at Terre Sol Nursery, off Patterson in Sta. Barbara -
Year, unknown - maybe now about 6-7 years ago?

Anyway, I'd like to post it, but sadly, can not really afford to buy the upgrade for this site, that will allow more than (3) photos....darn it....I am glad to be reminded today, of Adrienne - Miss you Darlin' ....

Rip.....

Dear Adrienne,

I miss you--you were my friend and mentor and I would not have made it through the past 3 years without you. I miss our conversation, walks, and our time on campus. You possessed such creativity, genius, insight, and most of all courage. I am blessed to have met you and have share that time with you. I will never forget it and the wisdom and stories you shared will stay with me the rest of my life. Today, on your birthday, I am reminded of your absence and I wish I could call you and hear you laugh, make a joke, rant, or say to me, "Christine are we ever going to finish..." I wish we both had finished. I miss you dear friend, will always love you, and your kindness and beautiful heart will never be forgotten.

Love,

Christine

What a shock to hear of our girl passing. I will always remember her kind laugh and funny ways. She was also a great hair person, and every experience with Adrienne was a fun one. Mousse Odile, and at the same time, Mane Street, then the salon in the 1900 block of State Street with the landlady that drove her nuts, the little coffee house she started on SB Street. I wish that had been successful for her. She was more about decorating it than running it each day starting at 7 am! Terra Sol, Carp High, Pacifica, Adrienne is a true Santa Barbara girl and we will miss her. Dammit anyway.

Dearest Adrienne:
Where fore art thou? Last month, I felt like you came to me telepathically...you really popped into my mind. I had just driven past a little house you had lived in, on Laguna street, I believe it was.

I last saw you at Terre Sol - but I met you in the kitchen at Mousse Odile, oh so many years ago - We were early morning Bakers together there - those were such fun mornings - You always cracked me up -
You are a bright star, so quick to laugh -
You had such a spirit and a way about you.
Yesterday, Linda Mason let me know that you had dropped your Body - and I was just sad and shocked. I wanted to see you - I had things to talk to you about and gossip about, ,memories.
I'm so sad you are not here now - your obit said you passed fairly painlessly - and I'm only glad for that.

I send you a big huge Hug - and lots and lots of Love - and I'll hope to see you/ feel you, in the continuum - or where ever we may meet again.
With all my broken heart;

Jann O

Adrienne was part of a tribe of young 20 somethings when we became friends in SB through my sister Rebecca. She had authentic warmth, listened deeply, loved to share a laugh,and lit you up with her smile. She tamed my wild mane to a smooth finish for my wedding and gave us a picnic basket of champagne and snacks to take on our honeymoon to Hawaii. I keep my Christmas decorations in that basket and think of her every Dec. when I decorate our tree. We lost a lovely spirit too soon!

Dear Adrienne,
In the 21 years we shared knowing each other the memories will never be forgotten. What comforts me the most is knowing you are finally reunited with your Mother. It is so hard for me to believe you are gone.............

Dear Adtrienne,

You were my first friend in Santa Barbara. You introduced me to the unique culture of State Street; picking movies, restaurants, and walks as our social director and tour guide. You were there when no one else was, and I will always appreciate that.

We had moments of hilarious laughter and deep contemplation as we learned each other's stories. You were a support to me in times of fear and loss. We walked together through some of the worst times in our lives, but celebrated as we came out on the other side with a bit more serenity and wisdom. You urged me to live larger, and grow stronger.

I wil always admire your style, not in clothing.. but in living, collecting, designing, caring, and risking enough to reach for that dream.
