Dear Reardon Family,
We realize that no words can truly express our sorrow at the loss of Ethel. Both June and I have very fond memories of Ethel from back in the day on L.I. Ethel and Jack were like my second set of parents while I was transitioning into adulthood after high school. They were always full of love, good cheer and support.
It is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to Ethel for now but, we know that Jack and Ethel are still together. June and I are sending all of you positive energy to help you get through this difficult time. Please know that the love we received from Ethel is truly being passed on and always will. Thinking of all of you.
With Love,
Pete and June Gordon
