Dear Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you celebrate the life of an awesome woman. Heaven just got a little nicer, if possible, with the reunion of Aunt Ethel and her loved ones gone before. It will be plenty warm with all those quilters and food will be abundant from the gardens they will plant! But the men won't be able to get a word in edge-wise, lol. I can hear them now; oh what a joyous occasion for them.

Dear Aunt Ethel,
The times I spent with you, Uncle Joe & Linda when I was younger were so special to me. Wilmington seemed so far away from Mom & Dad but I enjoyed every minute. My fondest memory of you is your ability to whip up a pair of shorts for me in no time in that little sewing room of yours.
Linda, I know all too well what you are going through and wish I could be there. Will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time. ...

Jim, Linda, we send our sympathies and share your sorrows. Those who have walked where you now walk understand your feelings and emotions. Words that have assisted me in the years past, "Trust in the Lord with thine own heart, Lean not unto thine own understanding, In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct thy paths." God bless, there is relief in peace and comfort.

Aunt Ethel, you were so special to Bill and I . We always loved the times we spent with you and Uncle Joe. There was always love in your house, and you both were the best in loving couples. The love you had for each other, gave the perfect example of a loving marriage that Bill & I wanted. One of our favorite pictures is you both snuggling together. We love you both dearly. Now, you are back together in each others arms. Linda & Jim, you are in our hearts and prayers. Let us know if we...
