Erma was a wonderful lady. I was always happy to see her in the Bank or in the restaurant. Especially after we both left BFA. But, to know today she is with our Savior and Lord! Till we see each other again!
Aunt Ermal always made time to visit all through the years - so many memories. I'll always remember how she and Mama Sisk cooked meals for us during mom's hospital stay and transition.
Wonderful memories of you â¤
Our thoughts and prayers are with yall.
