Dear Melanie and family,
Thank you for this loving remembrance of your mom, grandma, sister and companion. I’m sorry for your loss and pray for God’s comfort as you walk through this season of loss.?
Melanie and family, I am sending my thoughts and prayers of comfort. May God bless you in this time of grief and bring you strength.
John and Melanie, sorry for your loss. Anyone who knew Ethel loved her deeply. Her beautiful heart and soul will travel with all of us for eternity. ??
I will miss her dearly; I will miss our phone calls. She was a very special person in my life….
Ethel is at peace. Everyone who ever knew her will miss her. Condolences.
I only recently got to really know Ethel. I’ve known her since school but became closer to her the last 8 years. I will miss her more than I can express. Deanna and Jennifer were her pride and joy. I’m thankful for John’s support too. She has an amazing group of friends and family. May she rest in peace and my deepest heart-felt condolences
I am so grateful that I got to have her as my friend. We met in 1st grade and she is the first friend I remember having and the longest friendship I have ever had. I will miss our phone calls and laughing with her while we reminisced and caught up. I know that her life was not always easy, and she endured more pain that anyone should ever have to suffer. Even through it all she still always had a smile on her face. I am glad that she if she had to go at least she will feel no more pain. Ethel was one of the kindest people I have ever known. She always made room in her heart for me and for everyone else that she cared about. She saw the best in everyone, and I will never forget her. She will live in my heart forever.
My condolences to Ethel’s family and friends. I knew Ethel a little in High School. She was a sweet person back in the day…..
RIP Ethel.

Melanie I know this is a hard time for you. Remember the good times. Your mother was a delightful woman. And now she’s with god
Ethel was a dear friend in high school and then later when we connected again through Facebook. Even though she had so much pain in recent years, she had the kindest heart and cared deeply for others. She supported my grand daughter for every one of her Girl Scout fund raisers for the past six years. I will miss talking to her and will think of her often. Her family has my deepest sympathies and will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Ethel was a kind and loving sister that would do anything she was able to do for anyone. She will be missed dearly by everyone who knew her!!
Melanie and John. I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers for peace, comfort, and sweet memories are lifted.
I don’t even know where to start…Ethel has been one of my best friends for the past 30 years. We were always there for each other through ups and downs. I really feel for you, John and Deanna…..she was so special. I wish we could have visited more often but our hearts have always been connected. I will miss her greatly and will always consider her a part of my heart. Let your memories comfort you and know she is with God.
