I never met aunt Ethel but spoke to her on the phone many many times for many years. Her brother Ernest L. Laing, (was my ex/Tom Laing's dad) was very dear to me and so of his wife Mary which I took care of for many years until her last day this past June. God be with you and bless you aunt Ethel. You were loved by many.

Praise God! I rejoice with God as He says “Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.” (Ps 116:15 AV) Never have I met anyone who had 'excuse' to grumble but never did. Ethel was always bright and cheerful and loved to talk about her Savior. I thank God for having met His child, Ethel.
