Just want to extend the deepest condolences to everyone. Ethel was a friendly face for many years and I loved our talks. My world was a better place for having the privilege of knowing her. May you find peace in knowing she touched so many lives.
My best friend ever.
I have so many memories of Ethel and her family. My best friend throughout school. She was so full of life and so much fun. Even when we didn’t see each other, we had such a wonderful connection, she is now pain free and I’m thankful for that. Sending prayers and hugs to her dear family. Her goodness will live with us forever.
I’m so sorry for your loss.
I have nothing but fond memories of Ethel. She will be missed. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Matt 5:4
