Our family lost a wonderful lady. Cousin Ethel loved her family and loved life. I can remember her inviting all of us into her home being sure everyone had a grand time together. These reunions were treasured, loving times, where we enjoyed each others' company and would catch up on each others' lives. My family joins with you all in remembering Cousin Ethel and mourning her loss. God bless and comfort you all, and all of us.

Mom and I are very sad to hear of the passing of Ethel. Ethel and Mom were cousins, but in reality they were sisters that shared a very special relationship. We loved Ethel very much, and we are so glad that she was able to be here for Mom's 90th birthday celebration. She will make heaven a better place by being there. She will always be remembered for the wonderful person she was.
