Dear Bawdens,

I was a friend of Erick's in high school and I remember his mom very well. She was in our stake and worked with my dad on a few occassions. She was always so happy and warm. I always felt welcome in your home because of her sweet spirit. My prayers are with each of you. Your mom, even though I knew her for a short time, touched my heart and influenced my life for good. Thank you! love, Jenny
