To Dorothy, Rodney, Paul and families,
I saw the notice in the Yucaipa News-Mirror, so surprised to see it! I'm so sorry for your loss, but am glad she had a good long life. I remember being at your house so many times, playing Yahtzee or walking over to the park. Your parents were always so nice to me, and your mom made the best tamale casserole ever! lol I can't count the times she would stop and pick us up walking home from school in her white Rambler stationwagon. We were always glad for a lift :) Hope you are all doing well. Nice to have this little connection after all these years. May God bless you all, Bette
Dear Lonnie, Rodney, Dorothy, Paul, and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I have many, many fond memories of our visits with Auntie Ethel and our many, many "Dominoe Games". She was truly a winner, still is. I will always treasure my memories, Christmas ornaments, and designer towels made with love by Auntie Ethel.
Love and Sympathy, Doug & Judy
Our memories of Auntie Ethel are so special and will always be with us. We will keep all of the family in our thoughts and prayers.

To my Aunt's family our thoughts and prayers are with you. My Mom will miss her sister much but she will keep her memory alive in many fun stories to come. Keep strong and remember where she is, playing dominos with Grandma.
My dear sister Ethel is at peace now. I loved her so much. She was my big sister when I was growing up and helped me so much. I haved missed for a while playing Yahtzee with her. She was so good at Scrabble that I refused to play with her!! She was such a good Mother to all her children and they will miss her.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Ethel's family and friends. I worked with her at the manufacturing plant years ago, and she was one of the sweetest lady I have ever met. She always made me laugh. May God bless each and every one of you, because she will truly be missed!
