Sincere sadness on hearing of Erva's passing - I only knew Erva for a short time, but I always enjoyed helping her and being in her company. She always had an interesting or quirky story to tell, loved a laugh, she still enjoyed learning and hearing interesting trivia, and was very thoughtful of others - she was a truly remarkable woman who should be remembered and celebrated. I will miss Erva! - Posted by: Mary-Anne Ammeter ("Friend and Helper") on: Feb 07, 2012
