Condolences

I knew Ethel from Tree of Life synagogue as well as the time we both lived at Weinberg Village. She was very kind and unassuming. My condolences to her family especially Valerie and Ron.

I am so sorry for your loss. Your Mom was a sweetheart. We went way back. We both attended Holmes School. Many years passed and we met up again as residents of the Imperial House. We knew each other instantly and chatted about Holmes School, teachers and friends even though we were so young when we knew each other. She always had a smile on her face and even though it’s been many years since she moved away I’ll always have fond memories of her. Again, so sorry.

I had the privilege of knowing Ethel Weikers as a kind, gracious, warm lady, a member of an outstanding family. She left the world a better place. My sincere condolences to her loving family.
