Dear Donna, Dwayne & Family:
I actually missed Eric's passing and apologize. I haven't driven since shortly after my own Papa passed, so never had the opportunity, to slip up and visit him.
I remember Eric's comical side, his almost constant smile, his love for photography, airplanes, collecting of just about everything under the sun but especially, his love for Marg. (I hope you've recuperated from cleaning out the garage and basement, where he'd amassed that multitude of treasures!)
I believe even in the depths of dementia, one misses the object of their heart's affection and I believe he knew his precious and dearest friend and love (Margie) had gone Home.
Now they can both see and know the love of the other, amidst all the joys that Heaven grants, as well as know wholeness in body, mind and spirit.
I am sorry for the loss of your folks. Margie's death hit me especially hard. I think it was partly due to it being unexpected and partly also, due to my having grown to love her so dearly.
May you all know the Lord's peace, comfort and inner strength. And, as you remember your folks (loved ones), strive to remember most, what will make you smile. They were both comical, each in their own way. There was an abiding love there, not only for one another but particularly for the King of Kings and for you, each and every one, the apples of their eyes.
May the Lord bless your memories, grant you His peace, encourage fortitude and inner richness in each of your souls, so they may be especially proud of you. May you joy in the knowledge of seeing them both again.
With love and blessing to all but especially to you Donna and to you Dwayne. May you know the Lord's richest and most precious of blessings,
Barbie Lee-Stone.
