There are so many memories with Etta. Growing up she was like my aunt and her and my mom like sisters. She was always such a great spirit. Truly loving and kind, gentle heart. She will be deeply missed. I pray that God be with our family to help us get through this difficult time.

Knew Etta when we were younger, She always had a smile and a helping hand for her friends and family.
Often asked about her. I am so sorry I did not get to see her and catch up with her. May God be with her and the family.
