Steve, Jeanne & Sue,

A person lives on when an imprint of who they are stamps deeply in your heart. Ethel Ball was that type of person. In my mind I can vividly see your mom in her kitchen cooking, caring and permetating her love to those around her. Ethel had a presence when she entered a room - her energy was contagious. Heaven had to carve a vast space for her magnanimous soul.

Dear Susan, Stephen, Jeanne, and the rest of the Ball family and friends,

I knew Ethel well when I was a young person. Then, after a gap of several decades, I resumed contact with her through correspondence in the last couple of years.

Whether the elapsed time was a day or a decade, Ethel was the type of person for whom friendships are forever. Once we resumed contact, she was a faithful correspondent and a caring, thoughtful friend. I will miss hearing from her.

My condolences go out to the whole family. I know that Susan and Scott, in particular, looked after her daily care with dedication and love, which is a blessing.
