Sincerely Sherrie DePew and family

Julie, I worked with Ervie for all those years at the Fire Pump and remember him well. We were one large family there and he was one that would give you the shirt off his back if he thought you needed it.

Julie,
May you be surrounded and comforted by all those that love you. I pray that The Lord will give you peace. As I hear of all those with losses it causes me to pause and think about the things in life that are most important. . . God, family and friends.
You are what God, your family and your friends have made you. That is what will carry on from generation to generation. Feed the next generation with memories. . .

I remember Uncle Ervie in the kitchen making homemade chili, and all us cousins were outside sliding down the hill on the tobbagen and having fun. He was always there anytime you needed anything(and most generally laughing along with you)! I'll miss him, and I hope he knows how much he will be missed and loved. Love you, vicki sebright
