Lil Eric

You was like an older brother to me giving me advice on boys and tellin me about your little problems. Its like yesterday we were standing in front of Romeo's house laughing and talking while you tried to dance(smile)and I danced on the hood of your car or me threating you and Nemo for breaking my nail, but those are the good times I will never forget you I love you and I will always miss you

From your lil sis Teahna

To Eric,

I do not actually know who sign my name to your guest book, but that is besides the point. I wanted to say something that was from my heart. I have'nt seen you in years and the last thing I hear is that you are gone. All I have is memories of you when you went to Hyattsville and your short time at Northwestern; you were always joking around and being silly.It's always hard to find out someone you know his not with us anymore.There's a lesson that we can all learn from this, is that life is too short and make the best of it.One thing that I want you to know Eric, is that your not alone and you'll never be forgotten. We all know your o.k.

and know that when the sun shines that your shining your light on everyone who loves you.

R.I.P, Sade

Eric, what can I say? We laughed together as you told those funny jokes that would always make me feel better. You were so sweet and never had any problems with anyone. In my eyes you are an angel that will always have room in my heart.Keep your head up because you still a solider.

Eric,

We never thought that the day would come when you will be gone. We never got to say good-bye and you never got to meet Nakhia. But she would know that she had a uncle who loved her. We are going to miss you, but we know that you are in good hands and while you are there make sure you watch over us. Love Ya

To Eric's family, I wish you all the love in your time of need! Eric and I were best friends when we attended Hyattsville Middle and then later continued our friendship at Fairmont Hts High. But this is not a story about our friendship! I am away in South Carolina at college but if I would have heard the news before hand, I would have made it to the funeral! I hope ya'll can understand. To Ms.Trina, God will be with you always...hang in their and stay strong! I know it is hard but someone has to be strong for the "boys." Now to Eric, I know you are in a better place smiling down on us! No more worries and no more fears! You will be missed by all! I love you and may you rest in eternal peace! The memories we shared will never be forgotten!!!

Although Eric was never one of my personal students, he always visited me in my classroom each day--usually harrassing me (smile)! He was an absolute joy to me at Hyattsville Middle School. I am sorry that his short life had to end this way.
