So sorry to hear about Ethel. Sorry I didn’t know earlier I would have walked down to pay my repects. It was in the St. Cletus bulletin today.
Curt,
So sorry to hear about your Mom. She always seemed like such a glamour girl. Know that you loved and cherished every moment with her and did the best you could.
A wound to your heart that never really heals. My deepest condolences to you and your entire family. God bless.
So sad to hear about Ethel’s passing. I loved seeing her when she came to our salon. She was always so kind and friendly. I loved her sense of style and how she always looked so put together from her head to her toes. I’ve gotten to have some great conversations with her though the years and I will miss seeing her beautiful smile. My deepest condolences to her family. I know she loved all of you so much. May her memory be a blessing and may you find comfort in the love you shared with this beautiful soul ❤️ I will miss Ethel very much and may she rest in peace.
