Card Drive For ERIC…please read

CIMG1204

I REALLY WANT TO THANK ALL OF YOU WHO REACHED OUT AND MADE A CARD FOR ERIC,AND OR HIS SIBLINGS AND PARENTS. I’M SORRY TO SAY THAT ERIC PASSED AWAY TONIGHT PEACEFULLY. PLEASE HOLD THE OSMAN FAMILY IN YOUR PRAYERS.

IF YOU STILL WANT TO MAKE A CARD OF A DIFFERENT KIND JENNIFER WAS CLOSING THE DRIVE ON THE 31ST.

I RECEIVED THIS EMAIL FROM ERIC’S MOM BEFORE HE PASSED EARLIER TODAY.
“I just wanted to tell you that we received a bundle of cards and this was just the coolest thing ever. Thank you so much for sharing this with us… truly. We had so much fun opening these. Rachel and Jacob were excited to take cards up and “show” them to Eric. This was very very meaningful.”

THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART! AND THE BIGGEST THANK YOU TO JENNIFER! NOT ONLY IS SHE A CREATIVE GENIUS BUT, SHE HAS A HEART OF GOLD!

    I saw the terrible news about Eric on Jennifer’s blog earlier. I cannot imagine how devastating it must be to lose a child. You and Jennifer did such a brilliant job organizing the card drive and I’m glad to see that Eric got to see some of the cards before he passed away. I posted mine early last week so they are probably only arriving there now. I have been praying for Eric and his family every day and will certainly say some extra prayers for his family now at this awful time.
