Was so sorry to see about Erma..She was the sister of a dear friend of mine.May she dance with the angels now! God`s comfort is prayed for for all of her family and friends.She was a dear lady.
Randy and Marie, just want to send hugs to you. Your mom was at our mom's(JoAnn Fassbender) table at Eastview and I remember visiting with both of you a couple of different times. All I can say is that she will now be at peace in heaven...a much better place. My your favorite memories give you strength and peace at this time. With sincere sympathy, Barb Honzik
Randy and Marie - I am so sorry for your loss. Erma was such a wonderful woman and I am so lucky to have known her during the time I worked at Eastview.
I will always have heartfelt memories of my Aunt Erma. She was like a second mother to me when I was very little. Being I was born on her birthday she said I was her little girl. Years passed and I can have the memories again of when she and my mom came to spend Christmas with us several years ago.. They went to a wedding with us and she wanted to polka so bad but down here they didn't know the polka. She still danced tho. My prayers and love go out to all of you. You had a very special lady in your life. I know she is dancing the polka once again free from all things that kept her down.
