I loved Ethel. I work in the Cardiology Dept at the Olean Medical Group and cared for her for many years. She was always so pleasant and had a smile on her beautiful face. She loved her family and enjoyed talking about them during her visits. I am very sorry for your loss. she was a sweetheart. Joanne Hitchcock, RN
