Aunt Ethel,

There are no words to convey just how much I already miss you. Just calling to tell me I was on your mind, or you just wanted to check on me. There is comfort in knowing you are in your new body flying high in heaven and praising God with your beautiful voice :). I will always treasure my memories, the cards, and the hugs that no one could give but you. I will hold you close in my heart forever. I will love you always!

Your Niece ,
Laverne

We, too, were neighbors of Ethel about 20 years ago. She was vibrant and wonderful...a beautiful soul. Will never forget her big bear hugs...Thought of her many times over the years. Rest in peace, Ethel.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time during your loss. It saddens me that due to my own illness I cannot be with you; but very fond memories of Ethel will keep her alive in my heart. May you find comfort in knowing she is at peace as you remember the joy and happiness you shared during her lifetime.

Ethel was one of our first friends when we lived beside her on Greenview Dr. She would play Jacks with our son and when I had to work she would have him stay with her. She had a gentle heart and an amazing sprite for living life. She was always there to listen and knew just what to say to make you feel better. We lost touch after we moved but Ethel has always remained in our hearts. She is just unforgettable and we will always remember her dearly. Forever in our hearts. Our condolences to her family and friends. We will miss you Ethel .God Bless.

Mother,

The space provided cannot hold the words my heart holds for you. By the grace of GOD Im able to type as the tears flow. All I want the world to know is that HEAVEN has to be celebrating your arrival and much as Earth is mourning your departure. From my the tender age of 5yrs old, you saturated my life with "greatest love" a child will ever know. As you nutured me through childhood, my teenage years, continuing thru today (because you're alive and well in my heart) I will always remember how you proudly dispalyed my high school graduation picture on the wall in your Soundview apartment. I willl always remember how you affectionately called me your "3rd son" and made the best Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches (after school) I ever had. Your angelic voice, your symbolic laugh, the hugs, kisses and the way you prayed for ALL of us will never be matched. Please ask GOD to assign you as the Angel that will continue to watch over us....in Jesus' name AMEN

I LOVE YOU ALWAYS,

Aunt Ethel,

I don't even know how to begin to tell you how much you will be missed by everyone you touched. Your hugs and kisses you're always ready to give as if it would be the last time...so I will always cherish the last time we embraced. I know you are singing with Cousin Shirley in the heavenly choir as you smile down from heaven on your family and friends. I will always remember and love you!

My heart is so heavy right now. We had so many great times together over the years. You always gave the greatest hugs and kisses, which I will never forget. We all love you so much, but God loved you best. No more sickness. No more pain. Now you are resting in the arms of Jesus. Until we meet again. I love you very much and I will miss you.
