Dear Eric, Please accept my sincere sympathy in the passing of your Mother. I too have been down that road and know what you and your loved ones are going thru at this time, but may it help to know that others are praying for you strength in the Lord and hope that you will allow the memories of your Mother to live on as I do each and every day. Although we're sad to know that they have traveled on to "eternity" and have left us here to tarry on, we too must one day travel the very same road. May you find comfort in knowing that she and my Mom are both at Rest, have Peace and are with our "Loving and Divine Heavenly Father" who loves them more than we ever could. Be Blessed and give your Sorrow to the Lord, he and close friends are right there to see you through this time of bereavement.

Best Friend to daughter-in-law Ninfa Carpenter.....Eric and Ninfa are wonderful friends. Eric: May God be with you and wrap his loving arms around you and your family as you mourn the passing of your Mother. Although I never personally met Mrs Carpenter: She had to be an outstanding woman as Eric exeplifies a warm, loving and caring man.
