Deepest sympathy Uncle Jim. Aunt Ethel was special. She will always be in your heart. Hugs and prayers to you. Love, Rosanne Llewellyn
I’ve missed my time with Ethel at the bowling alley. She was my gal pal among the guys. I’ll miss your laughter and our personal jokes. Rest in peace.
My name is Yolanda Miller. I am a Care Coordinator at the Toni and Trish House where Ethel spent her final weeks of life. It was an honor, joy, and privilege to care for Ethel and get to know her. Ethel was a very warm, gentle, kind, and patient woman. I called her “our angel”. She had a very warm and sweet smile that would always melt my heart every time I saw her. She loved traditional Christian hymns such as “In The Garden” which we sang together a few days before she left this world to be with Jesus. All of us here at Toni and Trish House will greatly miss Ethel, her warm, sweet smile and gentle disposition. Rest safely now Ethel in the arms of Jesus.
Jimmy, our thoughts and prayers are with you during this painful time. We often think of you and Ethel, and the wonderful relationship we formed during and after our time with Habitat For Humanity. She was a wonderful person, and my kids remember you both as very special people who helped us build our home! I have some great pictures of you both at our home dedication, as well as at our wedding. My heart goes out to you and your family. We will be keeping you in our prayers. Joan and Marty Obermiller , Matt, Hope, and Julia Madigan
