A Tribute to A Dearly Departed Friend and WA Community Member

A Tribute to A Dear Friend

It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of my dear friend, business partner, and long time member of the Wealthy Affiliate community Sunday Eriickson. You may have known her as Sunday1, or MerriBerri1. No mattter how you knew her I am pretty sure she effected your life.

Sunday and met shortly after my first joining WA a couple years back, and we hit it off instantly. What many of you may not know was Sunday was born with Cerebral Palsy and life for her was not always easy, but she never complained about her condition, as a matter of fact I was never even aware of it to well into our relationship. She did not want people to feel sorry for her.

Sunday was a brilliant author with a few books to her credit and even a screen play that had got made into a movie, and her keen wit was what attracted me to her in the first place. But as I got to know her it became obvious that Sunday was far more complex than she ever let on to be.

After a short while and the process of critiqueing each others manuscripts, Sunday and I formed a small publishing company. From that point on we joined forces with a very talented artist Sherry B that you here in the WA community might know as Freedomseekr and together we created the book series which I will not name so as not be accused of promotion within the Wealthy Affiliate Community. But that was the beginning of what would be 1.5 of the most enjoyable years of my life working with a publishing team that was focused on the common goal of putting the heart warming story of Merri Berri Blue into the world.

Sunday unfortunately passed away suddenly on Sunday December 30, 2018, and we never even had a chance to say Goodbye.

But, this post along with your replies will live on as a testament to her life and her generous contributions to the world. So please leave your comments below.
