    To uncle Gusy, Brian, Ricky, Sid, Olie, & Mary,

    It is so hard to honor aunt Ethel’s life in offering condolences.She truly was a beautiful soul. When we lose a loved one on earth, we gain an angel in heaven that watches over us. Cherish your memories of aunt Ethel….hold them in your heart and may this bring you peace. Angels aren’t in heaven with with wings and a halo but are ordinary people who are kind and caring living ordinary lives. But they have special qualities that touch our hearts and souls in many ways. That was aunt Ethel. RIP Aunt Ethel
