Ethel, you were such a joy to know and to sing with in Lone Star Chorus! Sometimes we sang side by side, sometimes I was behind you. Really enjoyed celebrating your 90th birthday (I wore a special pink hat to "copy you.") Loved meeting your husband when we sang at Sweet Adelines International in Indianapolis in 2004. Thank you for sharing your beautiful daughter Bev and her family with us. For now, have a blast singing uptunes and ballads with the Heavenly Sweet Adelines Show Chorus. I know you are tap dancing on the front row!

This lovely lady will be missed by her many friends. She always looked as if she had just stepped out of a fashion magazine - to the envy of us all.

Bev... I truly loved and adored your mom. She was a member of Lone Star Chorus with me and I had the honor of being her section leader. I loved her dedication to our chorus and all of her Sweet Adeline sisters. She was one of a kind... there won't be anyone else like her. I'm so glad you got the chance to come and sing alongside your mom on the International stage with us... I know you'll cherish that particular memory for years to come. Know that you are all in my prayers. Please keep in touch when you can.
Love,
Becky Loveday
Director, Lone Star Chorus
