Our best to all the family at this time. I have always had fond memories of all the "Erdmann" cousins and their families from the Brookfield, LaGrange, LaGrange Park and Chicago areas.

I was so sorry to hear that Uncle Bill had passed on. Although we have been out-of-touch for many years, I have such fond memories of our family during my childhood and being a flower girl at Uncle Bill's wedding to Aunt Lee. My deepest sympathy to Aunt Lee, Bill(y), Patti, John and Scott.
