Not sure what to say?

Erma was my "other mother". She was an angel in my life and taught me so much. I didn't know that 95 years young would not be enough. She was a true Christian and greatest mom and grandma. As you know, we were all blessed to have her in our lives. I'm so thankful for times together this summer in Custer. Her family meant everything to her. May each of you know comfort from above and share your wonderful memories forever. In Jesus, Al and Susan Svoboda (Custer, SD)

I remember attending a beautiful retreat at the cabins in Custer. We had such a wonderful time! She was such a gracious woman making us all feel right at home. I extend my sympathy and love to all of you in the loss of your Mother and Grandmother. Know that I will keep you all in my prayers as you grieve your loss. Geri Wilson

My prayers are with you all. Erma was a family friend to all of us Palmer's. I think of her as more of a Grandma cause that is how she always was. She had the best smile and laugh of anyone I know. I will remember her as that. Please keep her memories close and laugh often when you think of her, as I will. Again, my prayers are with all of you during this hard time. Suzy Palmer, Custer, SD

A long and blessed life....she was truly an example of love and sacrifice. We pray you are all wrapped in His arms of love during this difficult time, and that His comfort and peace be with you as you celebrate her life and mourn her passing. Our thoughts and prayers are always with you. BJ and Jo Wilson
