Deepest sympathy at the loss of Erica. I knew her from Bible Study at St. Margaret'a where she taught me the simple prayer " I can't, You can, Please do, Thank You." I will always remember her fondly and miss her.

Sandy, I was a classmate of yours. I am so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. May you have the peace of the Lord Jesus Christ, who loves us so much that He was willing to die for our sins.
