” Earth’s loss was Heaven’s gain ! ” I wasn’t directly related to Erma, she was my niece’s mother-in-law. I have known Erma for many years, and loved her so much. Every time I went to visit Teresa I went to see Erma, and she always gave me a hug. Erma was a very precious lady, and devoted to her Savior. She will be missed greatly. If the Lord’s will I will see her again. Love and prayers to all of the family
