Our dear friend, Maudine Klein, gave us one of Ethel's paintings of Oracle Union Church as a wedding present, since that is where we were married in 2007. We have cherished it ever since, and it reminds us of our wedding vows, and all the wonderful memories we have of time spent there, with all the wonderful congregation that we know and love. We recall meeting Ethel at church on at least one occasion and telling her how much we loved the painting. God Bless you, Ethel...and thank you.
