CARD OF THANKS 

We wish to express our deepest gratitude to all Eric's and our friends and neighbors for flowers, food, cards of sympathy, and memorials, sent at the time of the loss of our son and brother, Eric Stempel. 

A special thanks to members of our family and neighbors who helped in the house before, during, and after the funeral of our son. Thanks to the Berne Ambulance Squad members and Dr. Margery Smith, who heeded the call for help. Thanks also are extended to those who have contributed so generously to make the "Eric Stempel Intramural Memorial RSports Fund" grow to such strength.

The Family hopes that with this fund, children previously not given an opportunity to participate in Rsports within the Berne-Kndx- Westerlo Central School will have one now.
