Etta taught us the wonderful habit of counting our blessings every day. We count her among our wonderful blessings. Such a positive and giving person. She hosted Brent in Portland the year he and I met and began dating and she was there to witness (and encourage) our blossoming romance. She even provided the fragrant rose from her backyard and a Montgomery Ward ring for the proposal (Brent was going to wait and let me pick out the ring but Etta said You have to have a ring! And she happened to have one handy!) God was good to bring her into our lives. She sure knew how to trust Jesus and let his joy pervade her days.
