My dear friend from our early years, Erin, I am so sorry to hear of your Dad passing. I have such fond memories of us when we were kids with your mom and dad, sleepovers and roller skating in your basement. Skateboarding down the street on our butts with your mom yelling out the front door yelling to be careful and stay out of the street. I know it's hard right now however with time, Memories like that of your Dad and Mom will make you smile and feel close to them. Love always, from a distance, your friend Michelle | from: Michelle (Lizotte) DeRose | on: 04-08-2017 |
