Last Week's Tragic Event

Some of you may have read in the newspaper or seen on the news about Ethel Simpson, a member of our church, who met a young man at the local healthplex a week ago today, and sometimes Monday night, he apparently murdered her and dumped her body a few miles from here. Her body was not discovered until last Friday and hasn't been officially identified as of this morning, though we are all certain that the body found is hers. Ethel was a very nice lady who, at least, on that one occasion was too trusting and believed a criminal's hard luck story.

The man was arrested in Alabama driving her car and allegedly committed another murder and also stabbed a man who is in serious condition.

We are all shocked and saddened by this tragic occurrence. She was a fine Christian lady.

So sorry to hear of this tragic event. It's sad when you can't go to the aid of someone without this happening.
Our heartfelt sympathy with everyone concerned.
