We are sorry for your loss and the loss of not being able to see your Mother come through the door at Calvery.I enjoyed listing to Ethel play the piano. She played the piano in the older style. I could listen to her all day.And always enjoyed talking about sewing she helped me in what I was having trouble with several times.
I will miss her.
WE are praying for you and your days ahead.
Thank you for shareing Ethel with us.
Our most sincere condolences to the family. She was one fine lady. She is now with our Lord!

We are sorry to hear of your loss. Ethel was such a special person and such a blessing to have ministered to others through the nursing home music ministry with her. She will be greatly missed.
Your family will be in our thoughts and prayers in the days to come.
With our deepest sympathy. We have fond memories of Ethel at Calvary Baptist in the choir and playing the piano for the Nursing Home Ministry.
