‘Justice for Adrian’ | Through nonprofit project, family seeks change after daughter’s death at Lindale school
Adrian Sue Thompson approached the world with curiosity, enthusiasm, and a seemingly endless appetite for adventure. At 8 years old, the bright-eyed explorer loved trying new things and finding joy in the everyday — whether she was creating a land of imagination with her baby brother, spending time with her friends, or dancing like no one was watching. “She just kind of liked to do her own thing,” her father Greg Sher said. “She was just a really imaginative kid … just super smart. We always wanted to make sure we talked to her like an adult … We could bring her anywhere, take her anywhere, do anything with her, and it was never a problem. It was like having a good friend with you.” Before making Lindale home in 2021, the family had lived in several states, including Arkansas, where Adrian was born.
