Lynn & Jimmie,
What can a person say, when a loss is so great as yours. There is no words that I can say that can express how I feel right now. Etta was a wonderful friend of mine .She was always there if I needed someone to talk with. Her heart was as big as all out doors.She cared about people and was always there to help if needed. She is loved by many.Her children and grandchildren were the center of her life.She spoke of them often. I will miss her, but I know thar she is with the ones that she loved that has gone on before her.I hope you both will find comfort in knowing that you will see her again one day.I send to you my love and prayers. May god give you peace in the days ahead. God bless you all.
