Dear Helen & family,
Needless to say that I was saddened to hear that Dennis was ill and shocked when Mary Sue told me that he had passed away. I was in Rome at the time and went to the the Vatican for a prayer service and prayed for both Dennis and Rudy. I have a crucifix that I had blessed by the Pope for your family. Please call me and let me know when you feel up to having visitors. I would like to bring it to you and talk to you.
Your neighbor and friend

~~~Dear Helen and loved ones, it has been many years since our family moved from Crete...Dennis would come across the street and he and Bob and occasionally Rudy would come to have a meeting of the minds in our garage...They all got along so well together... Bob, Rudy and Dennis are good neighbors again...Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time~~~

Helen and family,
We are very sorry for your loss; Mr. Erickson was a fine man. I know Rudy thought a lot of him; hopefully they're in a better place together now. We'll keep your family in our thoughts.
