I only met Miss Etta once and found her to be charming. My husband and I are good friends with her son Paul. May the love of those around you help you through the days ahead.

There is no question that Aunt Etta was and is the ROCK behind the Eide clan. She returned to school and obtained her teaching certificate. She taught for 25 + years and retired – this provided an excellent retirement income combined with SSI for the remaining years (approximate 25). Uncle Gene is very similar to me and he always provided the enthusiasm and self-employment of whatever wherever. They made a GREAT couple and have a wonderful family.



Uncle Gene born in Hawaii during the great depression and he was 7 years younger than my father (Clarence T. Eide – Born 1923 in Havre, Montana).

I pray that Uncle Gene finds peace knowing that Aunt Etta is within his soul and has not left his side.

Love,

Leroy (& Barby) Eide
