May God continuously bless my family and give us strength for we have suffered a great loss. When I think of Eric (which is everyday) I can hear him laughing and wish that he was still here with us. My baby brother is gone but he will NEVER be forgotten.
May this candle burn ever so bright in your memory. Miss you Eric. :-(
Love you!

Not many people knew but "Flash" was my nickname for you. You were my Best Friend for nearly 20yrs. Although I am heartbroken I have faith I will see you again one day. I look forward to seeing that famous smile. I love and miss you more than you know.
