Erma's family So sorry to read about Erma's death. There isn't too many Millers left, which is really sad. We miss all of them. You have many memories of your Mom to charish, as I do. As a child I spent a lot of time at Gram's house, so I really grew up with the younger kids,Wayne, Dick, Erma and Eileen. They were more like brothers and sisters to me, and I loved them all. My deepest smypathy. Your cousin, Lois Mandeville Moul

Dear Dick and family, We were so sorry to hear of Erma's passing when we returned from our vacation. Also sad that there is not going to be a memorial at this time. Just to update your family records, Erma's brother Chuck passed away 2 1/2 years ago. Keep in touch. Love to all, Uncle Dick and Aunt Bonnie
