Ethel or Sal as I used to call her was one good woman she raised good kids and could really cook cat fish that I loved.  We were neighbors for years up until I moved but whenever I visited she was still the same Sal good hearted.  She will be greatly missed but she's in heaven now doing God's work.

To my friend "Goat" and the other family members. I am thinking of you in your time of sorrow. Your mother was a nice person who was concerned about others and spent her time helping them.
