In Loving Memory of Adele Puhn
We met Adele in Florida ten years ago, and from the very beginning we became fast friends—women to women, and as couples, with her beloved Arthur and my Barry. I was always struck by Adele’s extraordinary spirit and her keen, incisive intellect. She carried herself with a quiet confidence born of a career built on substance: a writer of genuine repute, whose nutritional books traveled the world, translated into many languages and touching countless lives.
When Barry and I moved to New York, our friendship continued in small adventures—dinners, outings, conversations that lingered long after they ended. But as life has its own seasons, time shifted the rhythms of connection, and we slowly drifted apart. Still, the distance never erased what Adele meant to me.
Adele will always be woven into my history. A shining light may have been taken from this world, but its glimmer remains—steady, warm, and enduring—within my soul.
