    Holly,I taught with your mom at White Oaks P.S. I have many fond memories of her. She was a wonderful lady, a great bridge player and a super soup maker. In September after her retirement she had the ladies from White Oaks School over for lunch. She made three different kinds of soup..all very tasty but I really loved her tomato soup!
    My thoughts are with you.

    I am so grateful for the wisdom, compassion, common sense, determination abiding faith and loyalty that Erma shared. As a young man starting off in ministry in 1989, Erma helped me so much. (I was minister of St. Lawrence Church from September 1989 to February 2000) I am grateful for her kindness to me and so many others.

    Dear Holly,

    You’re right, this is a beautiful picture of your Mom. Her smile is lovely. Let’s get together when you are home again and have some time. Losing a beloved parent is an important journey. Let me know if I can help in any way.
    (didn’t have your address to send a card.)

    love,

    Gail
