My Dear Son Eric, I am thinking of you on this Memorial Day. I miss you so much. You are not forgotten. Thank you for your service and sacrifices for our country and thank you for your bravery. I like to remember the good times we had as a family. The football games with your team and your brother, Douglas team. You are my hero. Love your Mom or Mommason (as you liked to call me).
