I have wonderful memories of Etta. I will always remember her great spirit, the many meals we shared, her amazing "green thumb" - and the love she had for her friends and family. Sincerely, Roseann

Dear Derwent and family,Buddy and I were so sorry to hear about Etta's passing. We have so many wonderful memories of the early days. She was SO much fun and we can't think of her without smiing and hearing her laughter. I'm sorry we won't be able to attend the memorial for Etta because of some medical appointments for Buddy.
Maybe we can get together when the time is right. We loved Etta Boo dearly and are so sorry for your loss. Buddy and Pat
