Ethel will be greatly missed. Sheldon & Ethel were dear friends and neighbors of my parents (Homer & Ella Petersen) in Trufant for many years. Their friendship was very special to my parents who have both passed away recently. To the Wheeler children, please accept my sincere sympathy and condolences. I will miss seeing Ethel all "dressed up" as she always was whenever she went out!!!

To my Dear Cousins, LaVern, Elaine, Gene and Dean. And, all the grandchildren, etc. Please know that I am thinking of you all, and wish I could be there with you during this time. Seems that our moms and dads decided to be alike, waiting a year before joing each other.
If you could only know the love I had for both of your parents. They were so very, very special to me.
Please keep in touch with the Wheelers, we do miss you, and would love to see all of you soon.
Godspeed, and Peace be with all. Love, Your Cousin, Marlene

To all the Wheeler "kids". You are so blessed, you had wonderful parents, they gave and received so much love, and hold a special place in our hearts. I talked to your mom, not long ago, and she knew me, right away, and seemed so pleased to hear from me. We will not be able to make the service but will be thinking of all of you. We know they are together with our Lord. Jane
