I want to express my condolences to Erik’s friends and family. My Mother, my brother, and myself have lived in the neighborhood all our lives. I spoke to Erik a few times when we were both taking our dogs out. My brother’s house was next door and my Mom’s is the blue one. My brother now lives in the blue one and my Mom is in a Nursing Home. I feel bad for your loss :(
