Hi, Lynn -

I was doing some on-line reminiscing and came across this notice - so I know it's been a couple of years...

I agree with Shirley that we were all very blessed to have grown up in a wonderful time and that our parents were the best. It sounds like your Dad had an incredible life and I'm sure you enjoyed a great family life.

I pray God's continued comfort on you and your siblings, and that your days are filled with great memories of him,

Paul was a dear friend of mine. We knew each other for 50 years. Although I had not seen him recently, this news makes me very sad. I am so sorry that I did not know of Paul's passing at the time. What a wonderful man he was, with such a deep love for his family! God bless you all, Erdman Family. I am terribly sorry for your loss and very thankful for the memories of my dear friend, Paul.
