In Remembrance
Ellen Etzel 4/14/49 - 8/14/14
Ellen Etzel 4/14/49 - 8/14/14 It doesn't seem possible, but it has been a year already since you passed. You fought your cancer for 7 years and you never complained once about anything that you had to go through. During the last month of your life, while in the hospital, they performed amputations on you and you had 4 and 5 IV's at a time in your body giving you drugs and blood. You then told me and the doctors that you wouldn't be able to do the things that you wanted to anymore and that you wanted to get rid of all the IV's and go spend your last days at home. You passed away at home in the same room that we were married in 24 years earlier. I spread your ashes, as you wanted, on the flowers around the house and on the garden and trees. You also had ashes spread by relation and friends around their places. I thought that we were going to have more time together, but God had different plans for us. I was so very fortunate to have had you as My Wife. I Miss and Love You so very much! Until we can be together again.
-Love, Ron
