Sarah Keller wrote a sympathy message

“Erma was a collegue of mine at Westat and working on the National Health and Aging Trends Study. Erma brought joy and smiles to every conversation. She was a genuine, accepting, and spirited woman. I will forever remember her jokingly singing "Sarah smile" and laughing about it. I've missed her since she stopped working and will forever hold the memory of her within. Erma---give my grandbaby a hug and I'll see you again one day.”
