If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

Dearest Pam and Family,
You all have been in my thoughts so strong but it was only today that I discovered Erica Anderson is the loveable, smiling little girl who used to visit my Kelly Rd. farm with her parents, Pam and Tony Mantle. We'd run into each other over the years, promising to keep in touch, but oh my sweet friend from the good ole days--how it breaks my heart for the grief you're suffering from this mind-numbing tragedy.

If there's nothing else I can do now, aside from sending my loving prayers, please remember in the coming days and weeks that someone who's always held the fondest, happiest memories and thoughts of our times together would be grateful to be here for you with friendship comfort whenever and however you need it.

I'm deeply sorrowful for your losses.
With love,
