As we approach your four-year anniversary, I wanted to make sure you are never forgotten....... On Sunday, September 5, 2010, The Pawtucket Redsox's at McCoy Stadium will honor your memory. I only knew you a very short time but you have touched my life. The gift you gave my daughter for her birthday came in a red basket and I still have the red basket. It is ironic that it is red. It sits on my vanity, and Eric, you and what you stood for are never far from my thoughts...Your family too....Your Mom, Dad, and family did a great job in raising you. Your sister said it so well... We should all try to strive to embrace life as you did.........Thank You Eric for making our world a better place........Gob Bless........

As today we celebrate your birthday, you have left a legacy that continues to be expressed by your nieces and newphews. Only you have taught them through your example the real meaning of Carpe Diem. Our hearts will be saddened by your absence but they are also filled with the many memories and your big contagious smile.
We can only strive to embrace life as you had, little brother. With love and peace, we will remember you always.

In Memory of Eric ~ (Debra Estep)

Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.
The Wind on The Downs
“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”
(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )
Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….
“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”
I did not know Eric, but I am remembering
his service. He is my hero. !

The Other Side
i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.
can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.
i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.
it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side
the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

I was shocked and saddened when I heard of Eric's death. I knew him fairly well from kindergarten through 8th grade. Although we werent very close, I still considered him to be a good friend. Eric always had such a strong heart and was the type of young man that parents could be proud of. I just saw eric when he was on his last trip home, it had been so long since we parted ways for high school. It must be very painful to have lost a son, but you must be very proud of the man he was and how much he accomplished in life. I hope the best for the Valdepenas family and that some joy of memories of eric fill their hearts.

To the Valdepenas family: I am so deeply grieved to hear of your lost. I cannot even begin to imagine how you must be feeling at this time. I did not have the pleasure of knowing Eric personally,but he seemed to be a man of real character and strong belief. No doubt he looks forward to the promise held out for him in John 5: 28, 29 of enjoying life on a beautiful, paradise earth full of peace, the very thing he was fighting for. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

To the Valdepenas family-May you know the comfort of God's grace and be held in God's loving, gentle hands. Thank you for Eric and this incredible sacrifice for our freedom and way of life. You are surrounded by the love, support and caring of community, especially the military families who have experienced this sudden and painful emptiness. May your guardian angel Eric watch over you. Please know that you are forever in our prayers and that Eric will never be forgotten. God bless you. Semper Fidelis. Respectfully, Rev. Liz Wold

To the Family of Lance Cpl. Eric P. Valdepenas:
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courgeous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guestbook for the rest of my life. We lost a son 12/1/05 and it seems like yesterday.
I know first hand there are no words right now that will bring you the comfort and peace you need. Just know that you are not alone. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you all as you mourn this loss. We don't know each other, will probably never meet, but will forever be united in the loss of our Heroes. We have, unfortunately joined a group none of us wanted to join, an ever-growing group of families in this situation. May God grant you peace and strength to get through this and be able once again to smile at a memory rather than have only the tears that flow so easily now. To be so proud of your loved one and so saddened at the same time is a mix of emotions very difficult to deal with. I am sorry that I never knew your soldier personally, but none of these courageous men and women will be forgotten. They will never be able to be replaced, but sometime, someday your loving memories will help to sustain you. This courageous soldier will forever now be your Angel watching over you all for the rest of your lives. It's what brings me some measure of peace and comfort and I hope it will you as well. To his family and friends in pain, I offer this comfort: When you find yourself in that dark sorrowful place, think not only of how you will miss him, but instead recall the years, days, hours and minutes gifted to you by his presence. The one thing that cannot be taken from you is those wonderful memories that now will mean more than ever. If you ever want to talk, I'm only an e:mail away and would love for you to tell me more about your Hero. God Bless this courageous soldier and family.

To the Valdepenas Family,
My thoughts and prayers are sent to you all along with your son Eric. Yesterday I was part of your son's service as a police officer on a motorcycle. It did me great honor to help give Eric the moving tribute that he so deserved. As I stood at attention at the cathedral, as Eric was carried out by his fellow Marines and thorugh the corridor of Hendricken family gathered, tears rolled down my eyes for you all. May he rest in peace. Remeber that he is everyone's hero.

My family and I are praying for you and your family during this difficult time. We send our deepest empathy as we lost our Marine on 11/30/05 in Fallujah. We are comforted to know that our Marines are serving their country with such honor and bravery. We are so proud of our Marines and all of our other service men and women for all that they have done and continue to do to keep us safe and to give us the freedom we have that so many take for granted.
They are true Heroes and need to always be remembered for their selflessness and sacrifice to better our world. We will forever be united in the loss of our heros. We are so sorry for your loss and hope our words will ease some of the pain, and maybe fill some of your emptiness.
