I will always have the vision of Mrs. Erdman as a young mom raising her kids (and my pals) in the 1950's. She tipified the generation of moms that KNEW that is was important to take care of her family and set an example. She certainly did! She was a lady and a Christian. She was my mom's buddy and a wonderful neighbor. If a person can be judged by their product, she certainly can. Eddie, Earl and Elaine, her children, are the most decent people you would want to meet. Mrs. Erdman was one of a kind and truly, they don't make them like her anymore. I will miss her and I will always remember her.

Elaine & family, Ed & family, Earl & family,
What a sweet woman your mom was, what a shock to hear of her passing! The famous poet Peale once
wrote:
"Neither distance nor death can truly separate those who love." Keep this thought in your mind as you celebrate your mom's wonderful life, we will miss her at the office and our prayers are with all the family as you say goodbye to her mortal life. No doubt she will live with God forever.
Love always,
Dr. Rita M. Kurek & Mike Butler

Dear Ed, Elaine and Earl,

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during your time of sorrow, please feel free to call me anytime. Love Joyce, Steve & Sammi

To
All the Erdmans, Girolamos and Rosiers: Sorry for your loss, but
envious of the family love that you all shared all these years with
such wonderful parents/grandparents. Mom and Pop Erdman were great people, raised an awesome family, and, fortunately, lived long, healthy lives so they got to see what a wonderful tapestry of people their family became. You all are a blessed family. I'm sure Mrs. Erdman is thrilled to be with Whitey again! With Sympathy and Love
