Erma you have been on my mind constantly these last few days. My heart aches for you with the loss of your love of over 44 years. Even though it’s been a long time since we have seen each other I know you have shown nothing less than incredible strength and grace during a sad and difficult time. Please know you have always been special to me and I wish I could be there to give you a big comforting hug.
Erma, Alisha & Kayla –
