    Prayers for the family during this time. Revelation 21:4
    And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

    My thoughts are with you all. Your mother was a second mother to me. I pray you may find peace during this difficult time, and may God comfort you all as only he can.

    I met Mrs. Ethridge 21 years ago as a customer of Dads N Lads. From that point on, she was always so nice to me.
    I am definitely going to miss her.
    Thanks Mrs. Ethridge for the wonderful memories.
