From your family across the pond xxx
Ethel has been a wonderful role model for so many throughout her life. Like most of us, she coped with difficult times and also rejoiced in the good times!
As my first cousin and a frequent visitor to my parents home then subsequently our home along with Bruce, we had much in common and a lifetime of fellowship.
Her love for the Lord was evident in literally every conversation.
We are so pleased to have had a FaceTime chat after Christmas- lovely memory!
She loved God’s Word and had a great knowledge of it.
A great pianist and singer too – multi talented lady of whom her immediate family must be so proud.
My husband Wesley – who grew up in the same village as Ethel, and I send our sympathy to our family in Atlanta and rejoice with them that she is ‘with the Lord ‘ in ‘Whose presence there is fullness of joy and at His right hand are pleasures forevermore’
At this time of great sadness and sorrow we want to express our love and sincere deepest sympathy to all the family circle
Ethel was my first cousin whom I regarded as a very special person I admired for the love and kindness she was able to show to every individual.A very talented and gracious lady of great character.Who had a tremendous testimony of deep faith and trust in her Saviour the Lord Jesus Christ she loved and served faithfully.At least we know she is now rejoicing in his glorious eternal presence.
We can recall many affectionate memories of good times spent with Ethel and Bruce both here in N.Ireland and at their home in Grayson
The most recent 2014 was celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary with them both on a Caribbean cruise.An occasion we say was full of great fun and laughter and never a dull moment in their company
From us both we loved and will miss Ethel very much but it is just good night until we meet again .
