Mrs. Erickson and Jon, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your husband and father. I have very fond memories of Mr. Erickson from back in the mid seventies. I can clearly see his warm smile to this day, and when I would visit your home, he always made me feel welcome. Even as a young kid, I could sense his kindness. He was a very good man. I am sending you both prayers and heartfelt condolences. I'm hopeful they bring you some peace and strength during this very difficult time. Rest in peace, Mr. Erickson.

Thank You for taking the time to help a very dear friend of mine (since passed) when no one else in the political arena would. You did come to her aid..and she was most appreciative...as I told you when we spoke on the phone. I have never forgotten your kindness to her. May you rest in Peace..and soar with the angels! How swift your aid to her and response to me..was. May you Both meet in Heaven. You will recognize her..a real angel of aid to others..as well. Thank You..and condolences to the Erickson family. You are in my thoughts and prayers!
