Mom,
I sure will miss you, but I know that you are out of pain and at peace. You are where you want to be with all your family and friends and Jodi. Your family is complete now and there will be a day that I will see you again. I want to let you know that there was standing room only at your service and there are many many people that love you. I tried to grant you all of your wishes but I did not find your funeral wishes until last night- I know you will understand. Mom I will love you with all my heart and soul and I know you are at rest and with Jesus.

Your loving daughter
Penny Sue

Ethel was such a blessing to be around. She was always laughing. I am so glad I had the time to be around her, and sharing the laughter with her. She holds a very special place in my heart. Her smile will always be with me.

One thing that I can say about her is that she probably has the biggest Wings in heaven, and a Halo too big for her head.

May God bless of you in your loss. Keep her smile and laughter in your heart, and God will take care of the rest.

Love to all of you!

Sincerely,
Janice

Dear Penny,
My heart is with you and your family.
There's nothing in this world deeper than the love of our Mother.
Ethel was always so wonderful and appreciative and so much fun. Always full of life and I will always remember her that way. From my childhood until the last time I saw her. And I am so glad she was with us to celebrate or 50th Birthday in Gatlinburg, it would not have been the same without her. I will cherish our pictures and our memories always of Moma Ethel.
All my love
your friend
Helen
