Sharon & Family,
So very saddened to hear of Eric's passing. I looked forward every summer to seeing you both at the New Wes Valley Public Library. I remember fondly the many chats and how thrilled he was last summer that he was able to keep some of the books I had been weeding off the shelves. I remember how patient he was while you were using the internet. He would sit and read a book and I never heard him complain.
His presence at the Library will surely be missed this summer.
Take care and know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers during this sad time. God bless!!
