My condolences to you and Brandon. Memories will always live on. Thoughts of Erna will always be kept close in my heart. She was my favorite aunt and loving lady to all. My childhood memories included the entire Wentz family.
May you find peace in knowing that she is now being united with her family and friends who previously passed on. God Bless You Both - Love,

Jeff - My deepest condolences on the passing of your mom. She was a wonderful lady who was always full of great love and happiness. I will never forget the times spent at her house over the Christmas holidays or the summers when I was at grandma's house and we would get together for conversation, rocking away on grandma's porch. God has called her home to be with her loved ones and peace has filled her heart once again. With all my love.

I'm am so glad I was able to visit you one more time before you passed. I will never forget how you introduced me to turnips, as all children would love, but I did love them even to this day. Also it was always fun how you saved me a little corner in your garden to help me plant my Lima beans and zinnias and the surprise melon that you let me have. I will miss you so much and i'm sorry you could not be hear to spend more time with Jacob and Jonathan. Breathe easy now in heaven and know we will always love you.
Your great niece
