I just saw this post because I was looking to find Mrs. Erdman to let her know I was still in church. I remember making a deal with her that if I could spend the night in the camper with Laurie then I'd go to church every Sunday morning, night and Wednesday. I've lived up to that but not because I made that deal but because I am a Christian. My heart goes out to her family and friends for their loss.

Loved having Donna as a neighbor. She was always so welcoming with her cheery smile and was the first to ask, "how are you doing?", and to welcome me in her home. Loved hearing about her family life, gardening and mostly her faith walk with our Lord. Her desire to complete the will of Christ and to share His love with others was abundantly clear. I have been and will continue to miss her walking by our home and sharing her friendly wave. I pray for comfort for all of her loved ones and friends.

Donna you lived a good life full of happiness, family and friends. You relied in your faith in God and it helped pull you through these last 2 years when you were suffering so much. Rest in peace friend and my thoughts and prayers are with Larry, Steve and Laurie and their families. Friend and neighbor Bev Swenson- Shappee
My heart just broke when I saw news of her passing by Norrine on Facebook!! I remember as a teenager riding around on my bike, stopping by to say hello to Mrs. Erdman. She always left me pick raspberries and blackberries from her vines. She also shared her frozen lemonade with me too. Those days in my Childhood will never be forgotten! She loved everyone she met and always had a hug to give me and we would sit and talk all the time. She was such a joy to know.
I can't wait to see her again in Heaven as it has been over 30+ years since I last saw her. However that being said, her impression she left on my life will never leave my heart!!
To The Erdman and Jaekel Families, I am so very sorry for your loss! But one day very soon the Lord will be calling His Bride Home and we will be with our Lord and Savior and all who have preceded us in death, to Live For Eternity!!
May the Holy Ghost bring you comfort in the days and weeks ahead.
God Bless you all, I pray He brings you great peace through it all.
RIP Mrs. Erdman! I will love you always!
Sincerely,
