Sorry to hear of your loss Sue, mother’s are so special. You and your family are in our thoughts at this difficult time.
We had the pleasure of living beside Arnold & Erica for years and they were such wonderful neighbors! Our three boys grew up with memories of swimming in their pool and Erica giving them chances to earn money mowing her lawn and shovelling her driveway. Our sincere condolences to all their family members especially John , Carolyn, Oliver & Lincoln who became our new neighbors once Erica moved. Thinking of you and sending our love.

Very sorry for your loss. I have fond memories of growing up across the street from your family. Your mom was always so friendly and would let us run all over her property playing hide and seek 🙂 She was also a friend to my mom and to this day appreciate the help and support of your mom when mine was ill. Thinking of you all. Brenda Hutton (Shimmell)
For many years, Erica was an active member of the Suncoast Sandpipers, a women’s social organization in Florida. Besides attending the many functions of the Club, Erica played golf in our weekly “league”. She was missed when the summer months arrived and we always looked forward to her return in the fall. We always appreciated her company, on and off the golf course! She will be missed.
Our thoughts are with her family,
Gail Suozzi
President
