Dear Gram, It's hard to believe that a week has passed by since we lost you. Everyone misses you so much!!! We were blessed to have you in our lives for long, but it doesn't take the pain away of losing you. We will never forget the smile you had on your face all day at Steven and Sara's wedding. Especially on the dance floor! You looked beautiful, surrounded by so many people that loved you. We will miss you at all the family get togethers, big and small. Our house was so empty without you here with Mom the other night. Terri and Charlie made a big pot of chili for the family and Mom and Karen came over for dinner. You would have loved it, it wasn't too spicey. We will all miss you just hanging out with us. Last New Years Eve was a blast here. It will forvever be my favorite one. Family,friends and food. It doesn't get much better then that. (Oh yeah, Margaritas). We will miss you telling stories to us, our friends, and everyone you met. Our friends enjoyed you so much and it meant alot to us to hear how much they will miss you too. You were loved by so many. You are missed more than you will ever know. Forever in our hearts, Jennifer,Gary,Chris,Cam and Alex

Dear Jen Evans, Karen Johnson and Family,
You all symbolize the true meaning of "family." Mrs. Ericksson was blessed to have such a loving, caring daughter/granddaughter. I know that she's in heaven, sipping a margarita, having a grand old time. May your wonderful memories and endless stories help you through this difficult time.

My deepest sympathy to the entire Ericksson family. I would like to tell you that Mrs. Ericksson told the funniest stories about all of you. I think we both laughed so much about her "boots" card from her granddaughter. She always invited me to come talk and share stories. I think very highly of Mrs.Ericksson, the love for her family was priceless. God Bless you, Mrs. Erickkson.

What is there not to say about my Grandmother Viola. She took every step through every day always smiling...even if in pain.
She had to endure so much through out her life that I know God took spirit faster than the speed of light.
You will be missed but never forgotten...Love to you always.
