RIP to my Uncle Erich I love you so much even though you wrecked my nerves at times but I know there’s nothing you wouldn’t have done for me.
I remember you when you were a teenager. Your journey has come to an end and now you are resting in heaven. May your children and family take comfort in having known you and the memory of you live in their hearts.
Erich has gotten his wings. May you fly high. The tears of our own grief can soften our hardened hearts and open us to the possibility to say thank. To God Be THE glory. REST IN HEAVEN ERICH.
My sincere condolences to the entire family. I’ve heard so much about you all, I feel as if I know you. Tammy and I work together at Mallinckrodt, and I wanted to let you all know how much her co-workers want to express their respect and support to Tammy and her family in this time of grief.
