Dearest Art, Norma, Tony, Lorraine and Amy: Ermie was one of my treasured friends. Our friendship went back to Kindergarten where we attended Bullion Plaza School in Miami, Arizona. How true that she had a kind and compassionate nature. Such a peaceful personality, truly a gift from God. I will never forget Ermie. My husband Jess and I send our heartfelt condolences to all of you. May you be comforted by the Blessed Assurance that she is now in His blessed arms. We regret we are unable to attend her Memorial Service, but so thankful that we were able to visit her a few weeks ago.
