I met Ettarae when I joined the Renegades Book group in Fayetteville. I was immediately drawn to her for her no nonsense personality which seemed to match my own. But I really appreciated her when I was diagnosed with breast cancer and she volunteered her experience and support. I know she missed her husband and her friend Lois. It was hard for her to go on without them. I will miss her always. May she rest in peace.
