Our most sincere condolences to the Erskine Family in the passing of Jim.
Belle thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of sorrow. Remember the good times and Jim will always be with you. Was thinking back to all the good times Robert and I had with the both of you when we were square dancing and round dancing. They were special times.
Belle; we are very sad to read of Jim’s passing. Unfortunately we will be out of town for Thanksgiving and unable to attend his service. We hope the many happy memories you have will sustain you during this difficult time. I have many fond memories of Jim from many years ago when He used to come over to my Mom and Dad’s place. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Belle,
Our most sincerest condolences . Cherish the great memories of Jim. Jim was a true pioneer and I always enjoyed my visits with him.
Most sincerely,
Lloyd and Sandi Luhning
Dear Belle, I was so sorry to read of the loss of your Jim. I have fond childhood memories of him kindly and quietly putting up with us kids at “the shop” and “the farm.” I know that Dad and Uncle Jack valued him as a friend and a loyal employee.
