In the summer of 1986 Mrs. Joan H. Williams and her Cousin Mrs. Betty E. McBride had a vision for our family. They saw our family growing but far apart from each other. So what a great way to get everyone together than with a family reunion. That was the beginning or the Ervin Family Reunion.

Over the years we have watch our families grow and it has been great reconnecting with each other and watching the next generations connecting and keeping the Ervin Family legacy alive.

As we look forward to celebrate the 40th Ervin Family Reunion let us remember our past and those we have lost. Our present and what we have accomplished and to our future of what is yet to come. We must not let our next generation of the Ervin Family Reunion disappear into just memories.

​

And in between our reunions, technology has brought us into an age where our family can and should be posting the highlights or our lives and the lows to our Family page on Facebook. What better way to keep our family connections and our legacy alive.

So, as we look forward to our 40th Reunion next year, let's make this the best we ever had, for tomorrow is not promised to us.

I ask that you keep these two verses on your hearts and minds and know we are family with an unbreakable bond.

1 Thessalonians 5:11 Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.

And

Colossians 3:13 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
