This site is dedicated to the late Jeffrey L. Ethell, my wonderful father, teacher, mentor and guide. He called me "Doll Babe" and always made me feel beautiful, loved and accepted. He encouraged any talent he saw in me and praised my accomplishments (especially when I baked "Mississippi Mud" for him ;-). Dad, you made me happy to be a woman, and I am blessed to be your daughter. Not a day goes by that I don't think about your smiling face and your bright laugh. I thank God that He gave me to you. The 25 years I was blessed to call you "Dad" are treasured in my heart. Thank you for loving me into mature womanhood and giving me away to a godly man who treats me like a queen. I miss you. So glad to know I'll see you again one day.

Love,
Your Doll Babe
