To the family of Ethel Holland --- I didn't meet Ethel until about 2 years ago when she came to Allegro, where I visited my parents, Ward and Laura Dunlop. Ethel was one of my Mom's bridge playing friends in Martin Downs, and then they continued to play at Allegro. Ethel was absolutely delightful! Great sense of humor despite her health issues! When my father died at age 101, 3 months ago, Ethel and her daughter were there with many kind thoughts for our family! I wish I had been in Stuart for Ethel's memorial. She was, indeed, a "great gal!" My Dad will be glad to see her "in the great beyond."

I'm going to miss a wonderful friend and a great bridge player. A wonderful sense of humor and a lot of laughs.
I'm sorry I can't attend the service ,but will be there in spirit.
