Dear Ethel, Your Wisdom Trust has finally published "Hello My Darling: A Tribute to Ethel Seiderman." Each of your hand selected Wisdom Trustees contributed a chapter to your anthology. We even added a section for others to start their own Wisdom Trusts. I started my version in Texas with the Be It Foundation students and Advanced Practice Fellows. Here is the link for those who are interested in hearing about your Wisdom Trust. https://a.co/d/fjieifZ Love you and miss you, Cio

Ethel Siederman had a deep and profound positive effect on my life. I will forever be grateful to her and Stan.

Sad to see the Children's Center go, after all the work she put into it.

Ethel I know you are watching over us. I feel your spirit especially when I am tired and need a boost. You are still the most amazing human being I ever have known.

I would like to take a moment to add my voice to the chorus of praise for Ethel Seiderman. I met Ethel over 30 years ago and she took me under her wing and mentored me for years. She always provided sage advice and I know that she would be proud of the work that I am doing which she had a hand in inspiring. What a meaningful life, what an example. I treasure your cards of inspiration and I carry you with me everyday. Thank you for investing in me and I will continue to pay it forward.

I met Ethel Seiderman over thirty years ago while I worked as a Social Worker at Family Central. Ethel trained a group of us in the PSP-Parent Service Project model. She was something else.

Ethel you are my inspiration. Your spirit is carried on in every good deed and thought as I live my life in your shadow. I will always carried you in my heart and soul. I love you Ethel! I also want to say my wife Evelyn is grateful for y our support of our union. And she will never forget the party you gave her when she received her Masters.

We only had the privilege of knowing Ethel for a few years, but she took us into her heart immediately so it seemed like a much longer, deeper relationship. We think of her always and still miss her, of course. She was kind, brilliant, tough, gentle, spoke the truth, and was so much fun. We treasure the times we had with her.

I lost touch with Ethel and am just now finding out about her passing. Ethel was my Mom, friend and mentor. I owe much in terms of what I am able to contribute to the children and families I have worked with due to Ethel's mentoring.
I will so miss Ethel's laugh love and support.
Ethel will live on in all of her good works.

Love you Ethel
Sue Williams and Evelyn Hardy
