My sincere condolences. Through a Google search am I just now finding out about Mrs Ethel and Mr John as they were referred to by me James Curtis Frazier, my sister Minnetta and Lyanna, and my brother Norman. Mrs. and Mr. John were our mother's best friends when they lived in Melbourne Fl. Also Charles and Fat (Mr. John's brothers) I have so many great, wonderful memories and stories of Mrs. Ethel and Mr. John that this space here would not be enough. I often think of those childhood/youg adult memories because they were all wonderful.
Grandma Ethel, you were loved by so many. May you Rest In Peace 🕊
To my aunt Ethel you have gained your wings now you can rest. I will miss you dearly
