Dear Eric, Melissa & family,
We are so grieved to hear about your tremendous loss. We have many great memories of Becca & Kaitlyn running around together at the fair, using their talents to create music videos, and getting dirty playing with every critter they could get their hands on. May our good Lord carry you through this difficult season of loss. Sending hugs and love.
