Eric Swider

Dear Claudette, Lee, Marci, Jeff

Claudette, I am sorry for your loss. Eric and I were neighbors and friends from 1st grade through high school. Although I live in California I often think of my friends on the East Coast. God bless you and your family.

Dearest Claudette, Lee, Marci & Jeff,
My deepest sympathies go out to you. He was my most admired cousin, who was very courageous, kind and loving. He was part of my second immediate family that I will never forget. You were his life and joy! He always expressed his pride in your love and achievements. I will miss him greatly. Love, Sylvia

Eric was one of my first neighbors and I grew up to love him and his family.
As a little girl I was always welcome at their home and treated like family. He was a wonderful man. My sincere condolences to Claudie and the family.
