Online Condolences

Condolences to family and friends. I knew Etta since South Bar school. We were a bunch of friends and she was a well loved part. Etta was on a school group with me to London and Paris What joy and fun we had. And she was at my daughter’s baby shower. I have wonderful memories of her and extend deep felt sympathy for the family.
