    Dear Ethel and family, My family and I spent a few years going to Rich Hill United Church. We have many good memories being with Ethel and her family. I have never found such a wonderful church group again. Although Larry and I started going to Spring Brook United in Spring Brook, the congregation is pretty good there. Our sincere condolences to you Ethel, Shirley and your family. Ann
