Even though I divorced Rickey I Felt like I never left you. I have always Loved you , and you and Terry have spent Christmas with Steven and myself at our home years after Rickey and I went our separate ways. You always had a special place in mine and Steven's heart. We worked side by side with you at the mill for over twenty years and Steven was your doffer, and you were his spinner for a lot of years. I know that you are in heaven tonight and you are with M.L. for the first time in a long time and you are at peace. Say hello to him and Terry for me and I will see all of you when I cross over Jordan when my time comes .I know that M.L.and TERRY are both healed now and running and shouting and I know that is a beautiful sight.LOVE YOU SYBIL, LOVE ETHEL
