Dear Dave and Family, My sincerest condolences at the passing of your mom. She was a "Real Good Egg". We need more of ladies like her. Hope you are doing well. Sincerely, Paul (Your Distant Relative)

Dave Paula Scott Michelle A Better Place Pearl is in a better place right now Than she is ever been before; All pain is gone; Pearl is now at rest; Nothing troubles her anymore. It’s we who feel the burden of Our sadness and our grief;. We have to cry, to mourn our loss, Before we get relief. We know we’ll reconnect with her At the end of each life’s road; We’ll see her cherished face again When we release our earthly load. He will raise you up on eagle's wings, Bear you on the breath of dawn, Make you to shine like the sun, And hold you in the palm of His Hand Gone from our sight, but never our memories. Gone from our touch, but never our hearts. My sincere sympathy

"DEATH LEAVES A HEARTACHE NO ONE CAN HEAL LOVE LEAVES A MEMORY NO ONE CAN STEAL"........ To Dave and family, Please accept my sympathy & prayers for your recent loss...I hope that your treasured memories will give you strength... PEACE , Susan

I love you grandma! I will always cherish the memories I have with you. I remember the annual cousins day as kids where you took us to Storybook Gardens, the Sun Prairie Pool, or Little America. I remember all the cookie decorating at Christmas time and egg coloring at Easter time. Everyone knows about grandma Erickson's famous brownies and chex mix. You always knew how to cheer me up at Saturdat morning bowling: french fries! There wasn't a day that went by that I didn't know you loved me. You always came to our activities and cheered us on. I miss you already, but I know you are in a better place and looking after some special babies for me. This isn't goodbye grandma its just. "I'll see you later!" I love you!

Paula and Dave, how sorry I am for your loss. I know you did so much for your mother, Dave. God Bless all your family!

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
