Nana I love you so much. I will always remember nanas cooking, she always had that "special touch" that made everything she made for us so delicious. I have never been able to make an apple butter sandwich taste as good as when Nana made it for me. Nana was so sweet and loving to all of us grandkids. I loved her smile, I see her smile in my daughter Julie and my niece Alexa at times. I love you Nana and you are dearly missed. Your Grandaughter Jessica LaPlante

Aunt Erna was a special one of a kind true lady. She didn't fill the room with a lot of unnecessary words, however, when she spoke we listened. Her love for Jehovah and her family is reflected in loving eyes of all who knew and cared for her. May Jehovah give her family strength as they grieve. When I think of Aunt Erna I can't help but smile for the unique brand of humor she brought to our family. She will be missed.

Erna was a quiet person, however when she spoke very often it was to honor her God Jehovah. Death is a great enemy, but will soon be eliminated by Jesus Christ using the keys given to him. Our concern goes out to all of her family.

Aunt Erna will be missed by many, she was loved dearly by her children and grandchildren. One of her outstanding qualities was her loyalty to Jehovah and her husband. We look forward to seeing her in the promised paradise. May Jehovah bless her family who cared for her with love and devotion.
