Erma and I became friends about 50 yrs ago and if you knew Erma ,once you was a friend you always would be. A very special person in my life. We talked some of times gone by but mostly we talked of her family. She didn't have to speak of her love for her family it came out in every word. Love you Erma.Marcus "Marc" Jones

Dear Mary Dawn and Sunny,
You were so blessed with a loving mom. She dedicated her life to God, her girls, and grandchildren. Her endless and unconditional love was always an inspiration to us and many others; it will be one of our lasting memories of Erma. And Isaac, how will we get through your ballgames without Mimi's insightful comments to the referees, "you've got to be kidding me!" Her love, faith, and those precious memories will keep you strong, girls. We love you.
So sorry to learn about Erma,, May God bless you in your sorrow,
Nelda
