My prayers go out to all in this heartbreaking moment.
Stay strong as ERIC would want ..??
I love you! You and Eric made me laugh, helped me with my home, and made my birthday one I will never forget. You are my family and I will always be here for you. We have a very special angel watching over us now.
I am so very sorry for your loss. Eric was such a great guy and I have so many fond memories from when we worked together at Orange River. He always knew how to make me laugh. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Hugs to you all!
