Doug Barrett
Mrs and Mr Longeri and family,
Having been through the loss of a number of family members (grandparents, parents, aunt’s, uncles, cousins and friends) there is no one way over another that lessens the grief, whether or not their passing is unexpected or drawn out , to see a loved one leave us behind.
Just reviewing the number of people who have already left their condolences only reinforces the indication of the depth that someone they have known, like Eric Kints, has touched their lives.
Even the photos are full of wonderful memories to reveal that from day one to the last days he enjoyed his life, family and friends even though his illness caught up with him.
May you find comfort in knowing you are not alone, you are surrounded by those who care for you.
The Barrett’s
