Farewell, Ethel

Ethel passed away very suddenly from a massive stroke last Friday night, May 31, 2013. Fred and I are heartbroken and I don't understand what lesson I am to learn from this. I have decided to keep this blog open for the simple reason that this is still Fred and Ethel's house. Those of you who have a pet that you love and cherish, give them an extra hug and tell them you love them. They know what you mean! Do it today - tomorrow may be too late.
