So sorry to hear of Ethel's passing - I pray for strength for all the family. Ethel was a Godly, caring, woman , and always was kind to everyone especially her loving family. Kayla Lansing and Michael Hoffman are my loving grandchildren and their Mom is my cherished daughter and they all loved Ethel so much. God is watching over the whole family and will give them all strength to get through this sad time. As you asked I will send a donation in Ethel's name to Hospice . Again my love and sympathy are with the whole family - God Bless You.
