Erman was such a kind loving person. He walked into our lives and became a daily joy to see. He had such determination to get out and meet people despite his physical ailments. He just wanted to share his story and be apart of yours. I am so sorry I was not able to be with you for these services. Weather has kept me away. I just want you to know that Erman will always be apart of me. He was such a wonderful, wonderful person. Thank you for sharing your uncle with me.
