So very sorry to hear of Mrs. Lauderdale's death. She was a fine lady in every way. Her daughter, Debbie, was my very best friend, and I have lots of wonderful memories of fun times with her. Sadly, Debbie passed years ago, and Mrs. Lauderdale grieved so much! ll am comforted to know that they are back together now.:)
I was so sorry to hear about Erma...we go back to the Sterling Days when I was in High School, and
also when I worked with her at the bank...she was a very good friend and I will miss her. God bless the family.
So sorry to hear about the passing of your sister. We send your whole family our deepest sympathies. The Weaver Family.
