    Dear Family..... I worked with Ethel so many years ago at Dean Witter. She was like a second mother to me and she always held a special place in my heart. I always remember her so proud of Bill and her girls, Diane, Debbie and Denise. She was a wonderful lady and I am proud to have known her. My condolences to you all. God bless.
