So sorry for your loss! I worked with your mom at Geary Community Hospital in Junction City, Ks. She was a very fun loving woman and I remember her fondly. She always made me laugh and I really enjoyed working with her!

I have known Erna for several years. She was a good friend of my mother, Charlotte Vejtasa. Erna was a dear lady. She was always smiling and gave lots of hugs. She will be missed. My condolences to her family. God Bless. Sincerely, JoAnn Gaffaney
