To Renee and Family: I am so saddened by the news of Eric's passing. Eric and I were good friends and all of us at Anderson, Wormley & Mitchell became family. I remember those days fondly.

Eric loved his family and he loved God. He always said he would move back to Atlanta and I'm glad he had the opportunity to do that.

My prayers are with you all during this time. May you find comfort in knowing how much Eric loved you and how much God loves you.

God keep...
