“I have such fond memories of time spent with Aunt Ethelene, Uncle Jimmie, Gordon and Steve, such precious times together. Among my most precious memories. I will always miss getting to talk with Aunt Ethelene. She was such an encouragement to me. If you read this Steve know that I love you, pray for you, will always be here for you. I would have loved to send flowers in memory of Aunt Ethelene but with the type service planned that doesn't seem possible. Sending love, prayers, Colin and Gaye”
