Erma was a one-of-a-kind soul. I know her daughters miss her. Snarky , sassy and bad-assy! Cheers to Erma!

Dear Vicki and Mary Beth,

Thinking of you both with heartfelt sympathy as you grieve your Mother's death.  Unfortunately, I did not have the pleasure of knowing her.  However, I feel certain that she was comforted by having you at her side as she passed from this life into the next. 

The bond between Mothers and Daughters is a very special one indeed.  I will continue to hold you in my thoughts and prayers.

Love,

Martie




Vicki and Marybeth,

Melissa and I are so sorry for your loss.   Erm loved her daughters unconditionally.  I’ll never forget the time  when I was giving Vicki some tough love when she was in the hospital.  Erm hollered at me because she thought I was being too tough on her baby.  We laughed about it several times over the years.   Godspeed.

Much love,
Barley Family

Vicki & MaryBeth,
My heart goes out to you in the loss of your mother.  Ermalee opened my eyes to a woman who had fire and sass, enjoying to the fullest this journey of life.  Certainly strong and independent, but she had a soft spot for all animals, cats and dogs in particular.  She was especially proud of you both and her grandson.  
I'm fortunate to have known her and appreciative that she shared an important virtue: do something "because it makes you feel good".
Over the five years I knew her, we had plenty of laughs, arguments and tears but my memory will be the love we shared, "all the way"


Erna,
Your zest for life is how I remember you.  You worked hard and yet you played too with your family on great vacations and holidays, and times in between.  You will be missed.  God bless and keep you.

Sharon



Dear Vicki and Mary Beth, my heart goes out to you and I know the memories will trigger a feeling of her presence from time to time. Embrace those memories. Although it has been several years since I have spent time in person with her, I do enjoy some memories and laughs with her. I enjoyed the banter between you all. She was an authentic woman who never gave you any guesswork as to how she felt or what she thought. I know she loved to travel with you and you should be comforted that she could always count on your love and support. May she rest in peace. 

Dearest Mother, 
Thank you for being such a great Mother always able to love me unconditional. You never made me feel less since I did not have my own family in the traditional sense.  I was independent, and got that from you, able to take care of myself and my Mother at the end of her life.  Great memories of all holidays and Mother's Day and your Birthday, Easter was my favorite religious holiday with ham and scalloped potatoes and the 4th of July fireworks.  You always had tons of energy and I am so proud of you.  So glad you were able to pass peaceful in your home and with those you loved. We could not have done this without Kerstin and Judy who loved you and were by your side till the very end.  Your very special baby, Miss Kitty, she was such a great companion and you would smile every time you saw her beautiful face.  Love you Mom forever and hope to see you again in the vacation of a lifetime.
