Tina,Eric,Clyde Jr, & Marlon,
I would like to express my deepest sympathy in the loss of your mother. Etta was a wonderful and full of life person. I know you may not remember me, but I used to babysit you all when you were small. In fact, your mom kept me and my brother Walker...and my mom Phyllis Bower kept her... Stay strong and don't stray from one another. Keep God first and the rest will come to order.

to Etta's loved ones,
I had the distinct honor to meet Etta at Carol Breit's law firm. She was always warm and friendly and kind. Etta was always quick to share an encouraging word with me and always did her best to help me with questions or concerns that I had. I always felt good just being around her. She always brought sunshine to my day and I am thankful just to have known her. To say she will be missed is an understatement.
My prayers are with you.

Dear Tina, Eric, Little Clyde & Marlon:
I am truly going to miss your mother, my best friend. Etta came to me in two different seasons and I am so happy I was a part of her life and your lives. I'm going to miss her calling me waking me up on Saturday mornings and us cutting up. I will always love her. I know she's okay now. May the Lord strengthen each of you and always be with you.
