Naturally we feel the loss and shed many tears.
Erwin hasn't really left, even though it may seem so.
He has just gone to his heavenly home and is closer than we know.
But he'll still send messages and he hopes we understand,
That when our time comes to cross over,
He'll be there to take our hand.
RIP my friend.
My sincerest sympathy and condolence

My Friend
I am still in shock and deeply saddened by Erwin's death, so sudden and unexpected. It made me realize that we all take time for granted. I always assumed that I would have time to stop by his office to say hello or shoot the breeze. We get so busy and caught up with our everyday lives that we forget the important things, like taking time to check on friends. He would want us all to learn from this and remember to live everyday to the fullest, take time to enjoy your family and friends everyday because tomorrow is not promised to any of us. Erwin was always a wonderful co-worker and an even better friend. I will miss his sense of humor, kind words, advice and positive outlook on life even when facing challenges, he will truly be missed. Also, my heart felt condolences go out to his wife Mannie, whom I know he loved dearly, his children and grandson whom he use to talk about all the time. Condolences to his parents because I know the worse thing in life, is to out live a child. I know the pain that I feel just as a friend; so I can't imagine the pain that his family is going through. May God bless and comfort you all in your time of need.
RIP Erwin...
