Our dear Aunt Ethel was more than an Aunt to us; she represented and taught traditional values that will live within us and our adult children, along with the laughter and many memories of family gatherings.
We love you!
So very sorry. Her warm laughter and loving dispositon will always be remembered along with all the fun we had on our camping trips so many years ago. My deepest sympathy to Don and the family.
Why did you have to go? I miss you so much Nana. I love you. Christmas was so hard this year without you.
