My deepest sympathy to the family of Erline. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. She was one of my mothers closest friends and I will always appreciate and remember all that she did for her and my family.

In my prayers,

Karen Newchok Noblin & Family

To Erline's family,
My deepest sympathies. I have known Erline since 1992 at the old Church in Woodford. She was the sweetest woman and she had a great sense of humor. I will miss her smiling face sitting in the back row of the church. May God rest her soul. She is going straight to heaven with Joe.
Take care,
