Ever since I found out that Ethel had gone to Heaven I have had so many memories going through my mind. Living next to Wayne and Ethel you couldn't ask for better neighbors. One morning my Father wanted to talk to Ethel so he tried to call. Now remember back then we had party lines. So when Dad tried to call the line was busy. He tried a few times but couldn't get through. So he decided to walk over the field to Wayne and Ethel's. He asked Ethel if she could drive him to his doctor. She said of course. Dad then explained that he tried calling but the line was tied up by the other neighbors. Ethel smiled and said, "That was me and my sister Joan on the line." That is just one of the many memories I have of living next to Ethel. Wayne, you loved Ethel to depths of the oceans and beyond that our own galaxy. Doug, she loved you to the moon and beyond and she loved your wife, Cindy. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. You have my condolences. One foot in front of the other, one step at a time, one day at a time.
