Sending my sincere sympathies to the Family. I know that she will be sorely missed. V
Justina and I wanted to let Erna's survivors know that we learned to know and appreciate Erna during the last year of her life when we too became residents of Trinity Lodge, Glenmore and Elbow. I first met her when I sat beside her in Chapel and we introduced each other. I said I love the name Erna as I have a sister by that name. The Mennonite connection made our acquaintence so easy. During the last months she was in and out of circulation in the dining room, but she, of poor eyesight, responded to me when I spoke my first name. Hers was a quiet witness to a life of faith. So, please accept our condolences at your loss of a good person, a blessing to us from her quiet demeanor. Peter and Justina
