    My heartfelt condolences to Ethel’s family and friends. I only new her for a few years but I was always impressed with her friendly, sweet demeanor and her sharp wit. I’m so glad that we became friends. I’m content knowing that you are in heaven and reunited with your one and only, “Red”. Much love, Judi

    My dear cousin Ethel who taught me so many things in our twenty years together, may you rest in eternal peace with the love of your life Israel ” Red” Schwartz. May G_D forever hold you in his loving embrace. Cousin Dorothy and Nathan and myself saw a white dove in my yard the day after you left this earth. I know that was you telling us you are ok and at peace. I will always love you and consider it is a mitzvah you came into my life. Your loving cousin forever Lew.
