Aunt Eta was a beautiful soul and woman. She was always kind to me and even thought of me by writing letters as I grew older and had twins. She was consistently generous with her thoughts and words. May she rest in peace. Although our family can’t make it to the services, her memory remains in our hearts and prayers. Sending hugs, prayers, and peace to my cousins and family on this day. Heidi Kazimer and family, Nevada.
Etta was a blessing to me and my two oldest daughters. She was a wonderful encouragement to me and I will never forget her kindness during a difficult time in my life. Praying for the family.
may you rest in peace sis Love you
My condolences to the family. Rest in peace 🕊️
