Eric was one of the most beautiful souls I have ever been blessed to know. There is so much I want to say about him but I can find no words to describe just what an angel this world has lost. This news comes as a truly devastating shock to me and I will be grieving for the rest of my life. All my love and all my prayers go out to him. Eric and I had been very close for a long time and I am completely heartbroken that it had to end this way. I regret that I didn't get to tell him "I love you" one last time. But he always knew that I did.

I have so much to say about this wonderful man this message could go on forever but ill stop here. There are not enough words to describe my grief and my love for him. May Eric's soul rest in the most profound, blessed peace, and that the Lord be with him. He will always be remembered with deepest of love.
