Roger and girls,
Denny and I ( and entire Eckerman family) were so saddened by the news of Marie´s passing.
We have such fond memories of your family as our neighbors all those years in Prescott Valley.
You and Marie were the kindest, most loving people that we have ever met.
Always there when anyone of us had a family crisis.
You both got us through the death of my parents and also my older brother Joe with faith in God and the Catholic Church.
Your prayers and love at the services meant so much to us.
I know our kids are all grown up now, but I know Chad and your girls will always have the best memories playing in the rain filled ditches in Arizona. The little tadpoles would erupt when it rained and I think the kids thought the skies were raining baby frogs.
Good times.
If you ever get down to San Diego, please look us up. I would love to share a prayer with you to your beautiful loving wife , and our friend.
May she rest in peace.
Love and prayers to you and your family.
Denny and Barbara Ross
