I was searching for the service details of one of my patient's and I happened to catch the phrase, ".... After a long struggle with addiction." It is the same disease that my patient died of. I have been in the business of battling this disease for long time and am still dismayed at the stigma and shame attached to this chronic, progressive and terminal illness. I just wanted to thank you for calling it what it is. I did not know Eric but in some ways I did. I think he would have appreciated the way you wrote of his life and death. Thank you for your honesty.

Dear Paula & Family, I was so shocked & saddened to hear of your son, Eric's passing! I hope he has now found some peace & is at rest. You know he had some great people waiting to greet him in heaven! Your Dad, Dave and of course good old Uncle Ray! Paula, if there is anything I can do for you, please don't hesitate to call me! Think of Eric as your personal guardian angel now. Take care of yourself & each other. With love & friendship....❤
