It is with great sadness in my heart that I’m reaching out to my family and friends to share the news of my husband Eric’s passing. Eric passed peacefully in his sleep on Thursday, May 9th. Many of you have already expressed your condolences, love, prayers and support – it means so very much to me. I can’t thank you enough – it’s helped me get thru the past 4 days.
A graveside service for Eric will be held on Saturday, June 1st at 11:30 am at Gate of Heaven Cemetery in Silver Spring, MD (https://ccaw.org/gate-of-heaven-cemetery). Fellowship and a light luncheon will be hosted by Eric’s mother-in-law, Dorothy Fristoe, at her home following the service.
Eric was a proud and active supporter of the military, as well as federal, state and local law enforcement. If you are inclined to make a donation to Wounded Warriors Family Support, an Omaha, NE based charity providing support to the families of those who have been wounded, injured or killed during combat operations, it would honor Eric’s memory (https://wwfs.org/donate/).
