I have known about your loss for a while, but I have a hard time dealing with expressing myself in words. All I remember about her was her perpetual smile and Southern speech "twang" . She was truly a beautiful "Southern Belle" we will miss her. Steve Clausen

I only met Mrs. Erickson one time when I was with Hal. She was warm an inviting. If you were around Hal any amount of time, you knew his mother as well. Hal always spoke so loving of his mother. Mrs. Erickson raised an awesome man. She was an outstanding mother and person.
Maybe she rest in peace.
