My deepest sympathy to the entire Kosmar family. I never knew Ethel personally but came to know her thru stories from Leslie. I bet she was a "hoot". It's never easy to lose a parent - I have lost both of mine. I can't help but think about her son "Ricky" who spent his Thursdays taking her to different places, getting her hair done and such. Mothers and sons - it's just a different bond there. I will keep all of you in my prayers and again, my deepest sympathy of the passing of your beloved mother.

I loved Aunt Ethel and she was a wonderful God Mother to me. She will be missed by all of us. She was a great mom, hard worker, sweet, kind, funny, and loved to tell me stories about the Baker family! Thinking about all of you at this time. Renee Baker Lucas
