May 29, 2020 at 4:02 pmI’m so sorry to hear of Uncle Erman passing. He was a kind wonderful man, I was proud to call him my Uncle. I still tell stories to my kids about him that I remember from our meetings and that my mother his sister Dorothy has told me, she is devestated to lose him. I wish we hadn’t lived so far away and could have had him and Aunt Alice in our lives so much more.
I’m so sorry Aunt Alice for your loss. ❤️
