    Tobi, Penny, Melvin and families…

    I was so saddened by the news of Eric’s passing… I know you all love him very much, and certainly how much he loved and cherished you all. It hurts my heart that family and friends are unable to be together at this time to mourn with you, to be that shoulder to cry on, and that face you need to help lift your spirits just a little during this very difficult time in your lives… I am just a phone call away if any of you need anything at all, please don’t hesitate for a moment to ask… May the coming days bring you the closure you need, your fond and loving memories stay with you always, and his many life lessons guide you and keep you safe and strong… Love you all, and please take good care of yourselves and your families.

    Melvin,Tobi and Penney,even though I can’t be with you guys in person during this difficult time I want you to know that I am there in heart and soul.Though I am not related I feel as though I have become a part of your family.Through this association I have been able to share some many wonderful times and unfortunately now share in bad ones.I spent many a dinnertime at your parents house sharing in good food but most importantly wonderful friendship.Though circumstances caused us not to see each other so often over the past few years it didn’t dampen my affection for your father.He was a wonderful and kind person but even more than that a wonderful friend.The current situation we find ourselves in makes this even a more difficult burden to bear but take care of yourselves,time will heal,and always cherish the fond memories that each of you have for your father and my friend Eric.
