Deepest Sympathy to family.
Bob Lauro
Aunt Erna was fiercely loyal, loved harder then anyone I knew & had the biggest smile that you could hear though a phone call! I’m going to deeply miss our weekly phone calls with her saying “love you honey, till next time”.
My heart is breaking that I can’t be with my Handyside, side of the family.
John, Nancy & Family,
We are deeply sorry for your loss.
Praying for all of you,
Jeff& Ali Scott
