Wanda and Eric (Ricky, as we knew you back then.)
We are So Sorry to hear of Eric's passing.
Seeing Eric's photo took us back to the days that the 3 of you used to come by the vegetable farm. Tony was always happy to have old friends stopping by.
Forever in our Hearts and All the Memories shared that make us Smile.
