My condolences to Mike and Rich, Dawn and Kara. If I had checked my email yesterday instead of 5:30 this morning I could have stopped by for visitation yesterday evening after work. I doubt if Glenn and Tom recognize the name, or seen the obituary. Sorry for your loss.

So many fond memories of time spent with my Aunt Shari...
Erler girl's trips were always so much fun and we could talk for hours and hours while we shopped, had dinner or playing a game of Liverpool.
She lived just down the hill from Grandma and Grandpa's house. Would stop by on our way to or from the Candy Store, Grandpa always gave us kids a quarter to buy candy and was amazing how much we could get with a quarter back then. Christmas's were always a favorite as the whole family was there, usually along with a lot of snow.
Know we will meet again in Heaven, but my heart is heavy with the loss of such a wonderful woman, My Aunt Shari...
Love you always and forever, Patti
