At six weeks old, Don and I put our precious babies, Lance (in 1977) and Michelle (in 1979), in the loving arms of the most wonderful caregiver you could imagine. She helped mold them, shape them, and turn them into the wonderful adults they are. She loved them like her own, and we are eternally grateful for her tender touch on our lives. We will miss you, Ethel !!
