May the loving memories of your loved one be of great comfort unto you. Weeping may endure for the night, but joy commit in the morning. Look to the hills from which commit our help, our help commit from the Lord. To be absent from the body is to be in the presence of God. Ethel has fought a great fight, has kept the faith, and now has gone on to receive her just reward. She will be missed by all who knew her and those who knew of her. She is now resting in the arms of the Great Almighty awaiting that great getting up, when we all shall join hands and sing and rejoice of how we made it over, walking the streets of gold, where every day will be like Sunday and Sabbath will have no end. Oh how precious that will be. May God give the family the strength to endure during this time in their lives. Our prayers are with you.
