Dear Muff,
I'm sorry for your loss of Eric. Your love and care for him will last in memory forever.
His Smile
Dear Marty and family,
My sincere condolences.
It’s funny how the world can offer moments to remind us it is really small. Meeting Eric and realizing his family was all of you was one of those times. I will remember the time I spent with him in West Chester as a gift. He always had a serious face when carrying out his responsibilities but when we would talk of family, childhood or other things he love, his smile would fill the room. It is his smile I think of when I have snd continue to think of him.
