To the Tinder family..
I am so sad to hear of Mrs. Tinder's passing. She was my Sunday School teacher while growing up in Keokuk, Ia and attending Bethel A.M.E. Church. She was always positive and full of encouragement. Heaven truly gained another angel. On behalf of Barb, Chuck and Gordy, please know that we all cherished the times we spent together in church and within the community. Peace and blessings to you all.

Ethel, I'm loss for words on your passing. I didn't know until the day of your funeral. My heart was really heavy . I was wondering why. You were always a big part of my life as a young girl growing up and attending Sunday school at Bethel A.M.E Church in Keokuk Iowa. Rev. Eugene Johnson. You were my Sunday school teacher. You always inspired me and always gave positive advice. You followed my Granddaughter's in Sports and would mail the newspaper clippings of their honors and stats. We both worked in education with Kids with Special Needs and IEPs. You always gave me good advice. I love you so much and Thank God for you. You will always have a Special place in my heart. Sending love prayers and hugs to Paul, Dempsey, Will and the Tinder Family. God truly gained another beautiful Angel. Love you all.
