  1. She was my Aunt her husband and my dad were brothers. She was a very nice person I enjpyed talking with her on the phone the last few years. I will miss her but I am also glad that she doesn’t have to suffer any more. Jackie and Butch have done a very GOOD job of taking care of her. My thoughts are with you.

  2. I only got to know you such a short time but we grew very close. I know you are resting peacefully with your loved ones. Until we meet again all my love. Ethel
