She said “Love will ask you to step out of your comfort zone, the greatest sacrifice is when you sacrifice your own happiness for the sake of others. When the lord calls me home I can’t take nothing with me that I received on earth, only what I was given: which is a full heart engraved with my honest service, love and courage, God’s gone take care of me and he knows my heart.” Ethel’s selfless sacrifice’s for others is the role that brought joy, happiness, fulfillment and balance to her life. Ethel leaves a legacy of compassion, hope, and perseverance. Her infectious laugh, genuine smile, hugs, and caring spirit will forever be etched in our hearts.
