In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made toward the funeral service.
I am, as we all are, very moved over the passing of my mother Erma. A more caring and giving person would be hard to find. We all have witnessed her ‘energetic’ life. She, as we all, had circumstances and difficulties at different times in her life. She will be well remembered and missed. She joins our already deceased family members in eternity. Mom – I Love You – ‘Always Have and Always Will’. Mark, her eldest child.
I’m so sorry for your loss!
I’m sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. Prayers for your family at this difficult time.
Thank you very much
William W. Dunlap
My Mother was a very Loving Mother.
