Anita, Brett & Family; Myra & Family: Erna was "Auntie Erna" to me when I was growing up. Dad loved his cousins and that meant we were able to spend time with you all and be loved by her. I remember her baking and her canned fish! And, I remember she always made me feel loved. For that I will always be grateful. Condolences to you and all who loved her.
Our deepest Sympathy to you. May the memories of your loved one help you through this time. They never really leave us for they are always in our hearts.
Anita, Brett and family Your Mom was a wonderful lady. I will never forget her homemade donuts or the day she pierced my ears! Hold on tight to all your wonderful memories of your Mom they are a real TREASURE...Hugs to all
Anita and the entire Manz family, My deepest condolences on Auntie Erna's passing. She was all you could ask for in a Godmother which made me a fortunate boy. I was lucky to have her and Uncle Lawrence as my Godparents. She was a wonderful woman.
Anita our very deepest sympathies go out to you and your family on the loss of your Mom.
Our deepest condolences. I always thought of Aunt Erna as my second Mom. I sent most summers as a little girl with your mom and dad on the farm. Happy memories.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all , as we mourn your loss. Take Care.
