    My fondest memories are of our years together growing up on Brayton Road. My funniest memory is when Mrs. Furstenburg scolded me for standing on the couch while trying to get away from Snowball. So many memories of all the fun, but simple things we did. And your parents were my second parents. I am sad for your loss, and may reflecting on the memories bring much joy and peace to your heart.

    We are slowly losing the group of excellent, dedicated teachers from that era. Ethel was a great teacher and a good friend and that cadre of teachers cannot be replaced. My condolences to her family and friends. Harriet & Ken(deceased) Bliss
