Hello Eric,
  I wanted to say thank you very much for delivering to our home! Also, I want to apologize for not including your name on the cards that we left in our milk box for you. I am sure it was not obvious the cards and the gift card were left for you, since no name was written on the envelopes. But, they were meant for you, so I will keep put them back in the box for you to pick up at our next delivery. Have a Very Merry Christmas!!

Good morning Eric. We love our smith bro’s delivery and all the selections. You’re Amazing and so reliable. We all love waking up on Thursday mornings for our weekly SM box. Today we did not get our two ground beef boxes not sure if you ran out of those? Thank you so much!!

Eric, you are the best.  We love Smith Brothers but never so much as during this pandemic.  When everything else was turned upside down, you were our normal.  Every week without fail, bringing our order to minimize us going out.  Thank you for what you do, thank you for the kind note you left my family.  May God Bless you and yours.  You've made such a difference in my family's life.

Thank you Eric,
My 2 year old daughter wakes every morning ready to "check the milk box" Monday mornings are her favorite helping daddy bring the goodies in. Thank you for all you do and helping put a smile on my little girls face!

Thank you, Eric, for delivering our milk! I'm amazed that you can drop off our items without rousing the dog! Our preschoolers look forward to their little milks and Monday breakfast treats. (You are a weekly Santa Claus to them!) We appreciate your work.

Hi Eric,  Happy Milkman Day!!
I’m so glad I’ve had the opportunity to meet and chat with you Thursday mornings.  Even my dogs, Jasmine and Rhubarb, are happy when our paths cross.  You’ve definitely been a bright spot during the past few difficult months.  And you’re right - the new Birthday Cake flavor is excellent!  Take care of yourself and take the time to give Charlie an extra squeeze.
