Condolences

 

Dear Bev, Cheryl and the Constable Family.  I am so saddened and grieving with you all.  I have so many fond memories of dear friend, Ethel.  My Mother and Ethel were childhood friends.  As years went by, I became friends with Bev and then became very close to Ethel.  I loved her dearly.  She loved flowers and loved feeding the outdoor kittens over the years.  She loved her Family and most of all, Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.  Ethel loved reading the Bible, and was a real prayer warrior for everyone.  The last time I visited Ethel as she was dying, we were having a conversation and she stopped and actually prayed for me.  I will never forget that as long as I live.  When I went to appts. that I had with Bev, while waiting in the hair salon, Ethel and I would talk on the phone.  If it was my birthday, she would sing to me over the phone.  She sure shared her love and faith to me many, many times.  Ethel's smile was the window to the beauty of her heart and soul, a soul that brought joy, laughter and an appreciation for everything that touched her life.  Ethel will be missed, but I can and I know her Family would agree that she is rejoicing in Heaven.

May Our Lord and Savior be with The Family and Friends of Ethel and Comfort them.  Tenderly...may Love heal your sorrow, Gently...may the prayers of friends ease your hurting, Softly...may peace replace your heartache with warm and loving memories.

 

Sincere Heartfelt Sympathy,

Doris and Barry Aberts

Dear Constable Family,  Denise and I have just return from a short vacation to learn that Ethel has psaased away. She will be in our prayers as well as your family. She was a strong lady, never let anything get her down and put up a fight with everything she faced. Denise and I not only lived acrossed the steet from your mom and dad for almost thirty years but I grew up down the street from you guys. Your  dad and mom were good people and good neighbors, your dad was always willing to help with anything which goes all the the back to the soapbox derby days when your dad help me many times getting my car ready for the big race. My daughter Bridggette loved going over to your moms where they both would sit on the swinging chair and sing songs together. Your mother battled many things but she was as sharp as a knife, every year Denise and I dress as Santa and Mrs. Santa and this past Christmas we stopped in to Ethel's to say Merry Christmas. We talked about old times and she told Santa all about her family, the more we talked she kept tell Santa he sounded like Timmy Reynolds which Santa denied. She ask Santa to sing a Christmas carol "White Christmas" we sang the entire song together, she had a smile as big as the moon was that night and it filled our hearts with as much joy as she had. We will miss her calling for her cats at feeding time and when she used to walk around her yard checking on the flowers and trees or just sitting in her swing chair, she was a good friend and neighbor.

Denise and I send our condolences and will keep your family in our prayers.

Sincerely, Timothy Reynolds

I have many fond memories of chatting with her in the backyard of her childhood home. My family moved there in 1984. One late spring early Eve she and I were having one of our chats. I started having labor pains and had my daughter the next morning.  She is with beloved ancestors now. May she have gentle journeys.
