My sympathy to you and your family.
Very sorry to hear about Aunt Ethel. Now she’s with her loved ones. Prayers for you all during this difficult time.
Ethel was a beautiful woman with a big heart and kind spirit that I had the pleasure of knowing in her later years. She treasured her family deeply and shared so many fond memories of you all. She brought a smile to all that knew her and will be greatly missed. My condolences to you all during this difficult time.
To Kathy & Sandra,
My heartfelt condolences to you and your siblings and my prayers for comfort during this time. I have very fond memories of your mom and her welcoming spirit when Lynn and I would visit you two for a card/game night in your home! Your folks were customers on my paper route and I do remember them as good regular “bill payers” on my Friday night collection time! To share a somewhat humorous account of being your Mom’s paperboy, one Friday night while collecting, your big dog got loose and bit me in the “you know where”. She could see tears in my eyes and pulled me inside the house to have a look to see if any skin was broke, after which she call my mom to see when the last time I had a tetanus shot!
