To the family of Ethel Earle: Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers at this time of loss. I will never forget Ethel. She was one of the kindest people I have ever known. She was soft spoken, thoughtful, dependable, wise, knowledgeable in so many areas. She embodied all the qualities of a truly good person. She had both great dignity and humility. I have thought of her so often through the years and of how much I admired her. She was a good friend to my mother and I appreciated that so much. She is one of those people who leave the world a better place for having lived.
