I loved Grandma Ethel very much. She was a very social person who gave a lot back to the community in terms of charity work and her wonderful personality. She loved to sing and her nursing home had concerts that she participated in. She sang a solo in front of friends and family which took a lot of courage. She always lit up when she saw us even in her final days when she was dealing with insurmountable pain. I will miss Grandma Ethel very much and hope she can sing and do her activities everyday in heaven.
