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,

We are so blessed to have parents that loved us dearly & gave us a wonderful childhood. The Lord's comfort & love to you today and always. Shirley Mehelich Sell

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.
