Dearest Ethel,
My heart is heavy from missing you already, but my heart is light knowing you are whole and in the arms of the Lord. You were and always will be very special to me. You were always the most giving person I ever knew. Always thought of everyone else but yourself.
Sherman my heart goes out to you, Susan, Jennifer and Jamie and the rest of your family. We will always cherish the most wonderful memories of Ethel. She will be truly missed. You will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.
