Dear Kim, Cindy and the Kalinich family,
We were out of town last week, and I just learned this morning from Bev at Dick's Bakery (of course!) of your dear mother's passing. You have my deepest sympathy and condolences.
What a life she led, and she always knew that she was first and foremost a mother and grandmother! I remember from my first days as a new teacher at Center Junior High in 1971 the warmth and joy the emanated from the Kalinich family. What memories you have all left with the entire Strongsville family.
Wishing you peace as you cherish the memories.

Dear Kim and family, David and I send our condolences to you on the passing of your sweet mom. We both have very fond memories of her cheering on the marching band at the decades of Strongsville homecoming parades, working the car raffle tents with your parents, as well as the many community events they supported. Your mother and father understood like us, the special meaning it is to live your life in Strongsville. So proud! PS [Erma was always so kind having us crazy girls over to your home for wonderful dinners when we attended Strongsville High School;] Love and light always,
David and Terri Harbart
Retired Strongsville Director of bands

Erma and Mike’s spirit will live on forever. I would visit them multiple times over the years when I was in the Cleveland area. It was like out of a hallmark movie how they loved each other. The business they built is incredible! Condolences to the entire family and thinking of you all during this difficult time.
