We are heartbroken 💔
We love you and have been so blessed to have been loved by you and your beautiful soul. Rest in Peace until we are together again. The only solace we have is that you are with our Lord, our family that have crossed, and your beloved Eric. You have left a legacy of love and strength to be admired and passed on. God Bless you🙏🏻
I just found out, I’m devastated, I lived next door to her in my 30’s our kids all went to school together, I remember their first day of kindergarten we sat in my house and cried our eyes out, her and Al were a huge part of my life back then, unfortunately we moved away I moved to Fl and we lost contact but thankfully a few years ago we reconnected, we got to catch up on all the years we missed, and for that I’m so grateful, my heart goes out to Al and the kids. I’m so grateful to have had them all in my life when I needed great friends the most! RIP my lovely friend, until we see each other again on the flip side 🙏✝️
