A wonderful, wonderful lady has been lost. She was always "Mrs. Ericson" to me. I respected her for all she gave to the community and admired her for her generosity, caring and compassion. When I saw her at events, tirelessly and cheerfully volunteering, I praised her for her contributions and she would always shyly wave off the compliment. She helped others because she cared. She was one of our truly good ones. She will be missed by many.
