I will always remember the good times Mrs. Ethel and my family had together. Many years of cheering on the Saints, laughing, and playing with Kaitlyn. She was a great, longtime friend and I thank her for the wonderful friendship and love she gave to my entire family. The house next door will always be 'Datu's' house. Our prayers go out to her family during this difficult time.
