Condolences
My Deepest Sympathy to the
My Deepest Sympathy to the family and friends of Sandy’s. Not only was Sandy my first cousin, she was also one of my best friends. As teenagers, we were inseparable, going to the mountains in Pottery County and to the local dances. And after our men passed away we enjoyed monthly lunches when we would catch up on what our families did during that month. I will also miss our phone calls during the month. Golly, I loved her and will miss her. 💔

This message is intended for
This message is intended for the entire family of Sandy (Sandra) Ettien. I was so sorry to learn of Mrs. Ettien's passing; in fact, it was more akin to shock. Please accept my brother's and my most sincere sympathy. She was a good friend to my brother and a kind friend to me. She and my brother spoke more often than I had realized. And, there were many good, kind, and often humorous exchanges --- especially as concerned falling trees. I pray that she is safe with George, and thank each and everyone of you who may have been there for your father, your mother and my brother. Wishing blessings all the way around, Margerie
