Eric, I'll never forget April 26, 1983, waiting at the hospital with you other grandma Simmons, both of us so excited about the birth of our first grandchild. We were so excited we couldn't even sit down in the waiting room. How happy we were when your dad came out to tell us about our new grandson. I'll never forget the feeling I had when I held you in my arms the first time when you were only minutes old. You were such a beautiful baby. Never in our worse nightmares did any of us ever think you would "leave" us at such a young age. Grandpa & I miss you so much, we talk about you & the void that is in all of our lives without you here.

If we could have one lifetime wish,

One dream that could come true,

We'd ask with all our hearts,

For yesterday and you.

love you so much Eric.
