To Etta's Family,

We send our deepest condolences to all of you at this time. We had the privilege to get to know Etta and fell in love with her. We took to her immediatley because that was my Mother's name. Her kindness for others was incredible. Living next door to her was what we considered a gift, to know someone so kind and sweet is something we will never forget. Our hearts are sad for each and every one of you.
