nannaw and pappaw...i'm so sorry to hear about this tragedy. It breaks my heart so much because he wasn't just "like" a father to me, he was more than a stepfather. Even after him and my mother divorced many years ago, i would visit him with my own children and he would welcome me in with love like i was his own child! Erica, vince and alexis were so blessed to have him for a father. Know that though he may not be here physically, he will always be loved and greatly missed! Valinda selph-wood and family

Dear Junebug,Trisha, Wayne, David, and Odell, I can't express how very sorry I am to have learned of Eric's passing. I carry many, many memories of him. He could be such a clown as a child! It seemed like troubles just rolled right off his back and he'd keep on smiling and making others smile too! I'm truly at a loss of how to express my sorrow for you all. May you all find comfort in the fact that Eric was very well loved and thought of!

Erica and Vince know that your father lover you more than life itself, all he ever did when we were together was talk about you kids. Even though I married into the family and was considered an outsider, your father and I became good friends over the years and I will miss him very much. He became like a brother to me over the years and his laughter is going to be missed at the family gatherings but know in your hearts that as you grow up that he loved you and both of you were the world to him. I love both of you.
