Not sure what to say?

she was such a special woman who served the Lord wih all her heart Susan Shepard Sreaden

Erlabelle Petry was my Mothers best friend. As children we played with Erlabelle´s kids. We always thought she was our Aunt because she looked so much like our Mom. My Mother, Wyvonna Michael wrote a poem about she & Erlabelle taking all 15 of us to play at Glenn Miller park. We took up all the swings as there were so many of us! I will always remember her being so sweet & loving & a perfect "best friend" for my Mom who was also sweet & loving. She & my Mom we´re truly God´s angels on...

She was a very special person and was loved by all who knew her. My father and her were so much in love and helped to make my father’s loss of my mother easier for him. I know she will be in the ressurection when Jesus comes back to take the faithful ones home to heaven And she prayed that all her family would be with her in Heaven.

My Dad’s sister, Erlabell, was a dear Aunt to me from the day I was born.

Aunt Erlabell’s life, a gift from God, will always be treasured. We now come together to celebrate her life, her sparkle, her laughter, smile, many talents, and wisdom. Was she not also a good listener? She touched the hearts of everyone, and was cherished by family and all who knew her.

Aunt Erlabell anchored her life in the love of Jesus.

Our days and lives are brighter for just...

She was the sweetest woman she loved everyone she will be missed

She was one of the wisest people I've ever known. She always had a nugget of wisdom to offer any time I saw her. She was a wonderful person and will be greatly missed.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
