I am so sorry to hear of Ethel's passing. She was most certainly a Godly woman! She was always involved with the youth at Riverdale Baptist when I was growing up. Her kindness and guidance remain with me. What a beautiful lady!

My heart goes out to Ethel's family. My memories of Ethel are of her being a pillar of Riverdale Babtist Church and the community. I am sure her reward in Heaven will be great.

My Dear Aunt Ethel,
Thank you for every cup of coffee, piece of fried chicken, homemade biscuit and Pepsi that you ever shared with me.
As all of my family members you were my friend, my teacher, and my benefactor.
I love you and will miss you as I do all of those others that have gone before me.
Goodbye to a great friend.
