Mr & Mrs Wrigley,
I knew your son in DC and always admired how Eric was a genuinely nice guy and treated everyone well. He was also one of my first friends in the city when I moved here, which I really appreciated. It's not easy moving to a big city knowing very few people, and Eric helped me become comfortable. May you find peace.

I'm so sorry. Eric and I first met almost ten years ago. He was one of the first people I met after I moved back from new Hampshire. We had just recently reconnected. <3
