Dear Pat, Joan and family: I was very sad to hear about the passing of Aunt Erma. She was such a wonderful person. I have so many fond memories of spending time with her and uncle Francis at the camp in the summer when I was growing up. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire family. I know Aunt Erma and Uncle Fran are together again in heaven.

Aunt Pat, Uncle Gary, Lauri, Karyn & Craig,

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this very sad time. Mrs. Quinn was a wonderful woman who I have never forgotten over these many years. I will always cherish the great memories I have from Sacandaga... playing tetherball, the underwater road, swimming at the island (Beacon, I think)... to name a few!!

Dear Pat, Lauri, and family,

I am so sorry for your loss. Gramma Quinn was a sweetheart of a lady. I always remembered a smile on her face and her big black cat. Heaven has gained beautiful angel.

Dear Erma's Family,
I was sorry to read of Erma's death. You are in my thoughts and prayers and I put your name in our parish prayerbook.
You do not know me. I do Pastoral Care work at St. Thomas Church in Delmar. Each Thursday we go to Good Samaritan Adult Home for a Rosary/Communion Service. Erma often came to pray with us. We will remember her Thursday at our service.
