Dear Marsha, Sandy, and Rozzie -- and all of your loved ones -- <br> <br>Although I am unable to travel to the East Coast for dear Aunt Ethel's funeral or memorial service, I want you to know that I have been thinking of you all with fond memories. My loving wishes and condolences reach out to you. <br> <br>Sandy shared some endearing stories of Aunt Ethel's last few months, including how she wore the tiara during her 95th birthday party and gave her best Queen Elizabeth wave to everyone. That is how I've been visualizing her and I hope to hold on to that beautiful thought -- of a queen sitting on her throne of a long, well-lived life. <br> <br>With loving wishes, <br> <br>Ellie
