Eric,
You are in our thoughts and prayers. We were so saddened when we heard. I remember when I first met your mom, when you and Dustin were in middle school. I enjoyed sitting with her and chatting at all of the athletic events. I have thought about her often through the years and the memories always bring a smile. God bless you and be with you. If we can do anything, please contact us.
