So sorry for your loss, Ervin was such a nice man. I knew him from visiting with Esther’s mother, Lillian. Nice couple, he will be missed I’m sure! God Bless his memory.

Esther. I am sorry for your loss. Some how Wayne Anderson found out and called me. I am thinking about when I visited and saw you both. My thoughts are with you and your family. Love Barbara
