Happy Easter son, I was thinking about when you and Marie were little and coloring Easter eggs, How we had fun doing that, I hold close to me all of my memories of you, But at the same time it is so hard not having the chance to make new ones, I miss you so much and I am sure you know that you are thought of always and loved beyond words, Sure wish you could come home if only for a short time. I love you nothing X infinity divided by 0.

Loving and missing you son

Eric, i have knowen you since you were a little boy. We were always with you and your family. Might as well say we are family. You grew up to be such a nice looking young man. You were not with us long enough. You are miseed alot and ALWAYS will be MISSED AND LOVED. I just sit and wonder why you went so young. God was ready for you even though we did not want you to go. I love and miss you bud. Aunt Sue xoxo

Eric, Always remember, Your here in our Hearts. There is sorrow where laughter once played. And tears causing gladness to fade. But there's a sweet comfort our memories impart, so always remember your here in our hearts.

Sometimes it's hard to believe that you've been gone from us for 3 long years, other times it seems like it's been so much longer. We miss you every day and every day I look at your pictures and think of you and send you my love.

Another family soul had joined you, your G-Aunt Aleta. She always commented on your beautiful red hair. I'm sure you were there to greet her and give her a hug and make her welcome.

With all our love, Grandma and Grandpa

In the bottom of an old pond lived some grubs who could not understand why none of their groups ever came back after crawling up the stems of the lilies to the top of the water. They promised each other that the next one who was called to make the upward climb would return and tell what happened to him. Soon one of them felt an urgent impulse to seek the surface; he rested himself on the top of a lily pad and went through a glorious transformation, which made him a dragonfly with beautiful wings. In vain, he tried to keep his promise. Flying back and forth over the pond, he peered down at his friends below. Then he realized that even if they could see him they would not recognize such a radiant creature as one of their number.

The fact that we cannot see our friends or communicate with them after the transformation, which we call death, is no proof that they cease to exist.

I miss you my son, I Love you, Happy new year,

Eric,

Here we are once again, Your favorite Holiday of the year, we are always thinking about you and missing you so much, But days like today are hard! And our hearts are heavy as we try to carry on, We try hard to put on a brave face, knowing we can not have what we really want! Just one more is what we want and will always wish for, precious memories we will always hold close and hope one day we can recall them with a smile and laugh instead of pain and tears for what we lost.I miss you so much my sweet Red head that booming laugh and bright smile, The great hugs, I love you buddy and one day I will be with you again,That knowledge is what gets me through the days. I LOVE YOU NOTHING X INFINITY DIVIDED BY 0.

I haven't posted here in quite sometime buddy, but believe me, it is not for a lack of thinking about you or missing you. I guess I haven't posted in a while because it is hard missing you and coming here and seeing the memories. Losing you has been so devastating to all of us, especially your Mom, your Dad and Marie. My heart aches for them and for me. You and your sister have always been so important to me, since the day I knew your mom was pregnant with you and Marie. Once again Christmas is looming around the corner, and we miss you even more, if that is possible. Christmas has never been the same without you here. I can't help but think about our last Christmas together, what a sweet and thoughtful gift you gave me and how much it meant to me. And you knew it, putting so much thought and love into it. You always put your heart and love into all you did. You are such a special person and Im sure a special angel in heaven. We know you are with us in our hearts and in our thoughts, and watching over us. I will miss you always and love you to infinity times nothing. My sweet redhead I love you. Aunt Lisa

I love you Eric and I miss you very much. I have no doubt that you are my guardian angel after the car accident I was in a week a half ago. I am a very lucky girl to walk away from that without even a scratch on me when my car was totaled and a van hit me three times and then sent me flying into a semi truck. I wish more then any thing that you were here with me. I have a really hard time with you not being here. I am always depressed not having you to talk to and having you to support me and back me up and to have you to depend on. You were the one that I always knew that I could count on no matter what my problem was. I have a hard time even sleeping now I have nightmares watching people I love die in different ways and I try to save them but there is nothing I can do I am always helpless no matter how hard I try they always die. I think it comes down to my fear of losing someone else that I love so dearly as you. You were by far my best friend I wish I had told you more often how much you meant to me. But at the same time there are a lot of things that I wish I had not said as well. I wish we had a lot more time together. Some times I am mad that you wont be able to be in my wedding when Dan and I get married and its frustrating thinking about that. I wonder if I am going to have an emtional break down on my big day just because my big brother isn't there. Which is really hard for me because I think that should be the happiest day of my life yet all I can think about is I wonder how emotional I will be and how much I will cry and just how I will get through that day with out Eric there with me. I love you Eric its geting harder as its getting closer to the holidays.

Happy birthday in heaven, Eric.

Love,

Judy from Angel Moms

I wrote this for your Birthday

When I close my eyes precious memories of you float around in my head, From your first moments craddled in my arms. To the sweet music of your belly laughs, Bedtime stories and splashing in the tub, How fast the years did pass, When you were growing through the years, Activies and Report cards Heart breaks and triumphs, I shared them all with you, The excitment of College and all your lifetime plans, Always with the future dreams of your life ahead, Until the day when plans became wishes that were never to be. Only endless tears and missing you eachday through the years, Now I have the precious memories when I close my eyes and recall the life you had, I love you so my precious son all through the years as we know that Love never really dies, I LOVE YOU FOREVER and I hope you are getting lots of Angel hugs today and know that we hold you close always

Love from MOM

Eric - Happy Birthday to my favorite grandson.

We think of you often and make no outward show, but what it meant to lose you. No one will ever know. You wished no one farewell, not even said good-bye, you were gone before we knew it, and only God knows why.

You are not forgotten nor will you ever be as long as life and memories last, we will remember thee.

To some you may be forgotten, to others a part of the past, but to us who loved you dearly, your memories will always last

Nothing can be more beautiful than the memories we have of you. To us you were someone special, God must have thought so too.

If tears could build a staircase and memories a lane, we would walk all the way to Heaven and bring you home again.

We think of you and miss you everyday. You are (and always will be) in our hearts and prayers. Take care of our loved ones that were there to greet you, as I'm sure they are taking care of you. Someday we will again be together and our hugs will never stop! We know you are watching over us and that you know how very much you are loved and missed!

Love you so very much.
