To my Loving Sister in Law, Ethel. You had a beautiful smile that made everyone smile too. You were a “special ” Aunt to my children. When they made the rounds at Halloween, or May baskets in the Spring, Aunt Ethel made sure the had plenty of Homemade goodies.
At Polish dances she looked as light as a feather on the dance floor! Last time I saw you, you kept saying God Bless after we talked. GOD
BLESS you now Ethel! You are in his Loving Hands!
Love Karen David and Jennifer
