Without faith where would we be? Faith is knowing that God is in control. Faith is knowing that God will heal the hurt. Faith is not understanding but never doubting. Faith gives us the wisdom to know Ethan is present with the Lord. Faith guides us to live so that we may one day walk with Ethan on the streets paved in gold. Faith gives us one another for comfort and strength during times such as these.

Ethan is loved and will always be a part of our hearts.
Ashley and Michael you are in our prayers.

Love,
Rosemary, Kara, Angela, Rikki and Trevor

I will never forget you Ethan. You were so beautiful and I am so glad I got to hold you close in my arms and will always hold you close in my heart . I just imagine that Granny Hale is holding you in her arms and loves you just as she loved all the family so dearly. It was two years today that she went to be with the Lord and she, along with Jesus, welcomed you to that beautiful home. You are another beautiful flower there.

Look for me for I will be there too.

I want to tell you that your Mommy and Daddy love you so much.

xxxx and oooo to you.
