To the family of Etta Flensburg, please accept my condolences for the loss of your love one.
You may feel that death ends it all, or that there is no solution. There is a solution, the
earthly Resurrection that almighty God will carry out by means of his son Christ Jesus.

It has been a long time since I was a pall bearer at John’s funeral. Etta has lived a long time without her wonderful husband, so I trust she has had a joyous reunion with him.
My condolences go to Etta’s family. Etta was a hardworking person, especially during the many years she was a regular fixture at the Center for Academic Success at MCC. It was an honor to Etta, John, and many of her family members. Best wishes for the days ahead.
