    I am very sorry about Etta. I took care of her for over a year and we had a great relationship. I was introduced to Lula on one of my visits to Etta. I hope that you remember me. I tried to contact Etta several months ago and was not able to get in contact. I wished I would have known that she was in the nursing home because I would have come for a visit. I missed her very much in our away time. I would call and talk, but it wasn't the same as seeing her. You all had a great mother and I know that she loved you all very much. I will always keep her in my prayers.

    I loved taking care of Etta. Her and I really became close friends. I tried to get in touch with her several times and found out she passed. Her children had a very loving mother and she loved all of you.
