Old Ethyl knew her way around the keyboards. Listen to her. And sit up straight.

Dear departed Ethyl. I send her my dogs and she sends me her cats.

It took her 10 minutes to play a short introduction to “Amazing Grace” Sunday and no one said it sounded sweet. Fortunately, the interim Pastor recognized that if we went through all 5 verses he would not have enough time to collect the offering and preach, so he cut it off at two verses. We sang the last hymn a capella, one verse of “Fairest Lord Jesus”; it was moving, I think more from relief that Ethyl couldn’t “dirge” it.
