Dear Sophie and Jason,
I am so sorry to hear of Eric's passing. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I realize that I only knew you all for a short time of Eric's life, but one thing is for sure and that is he loved you both very much!

Eric, I always cherished and will forever miss the phone calls to your dad that I always seemed to field on the rare occasions that I was home. I loved to hear about the latest shocker and you could always make me laugh! I had looked forward to seeing you and Jason at the farm again, humorously hoping that the next time, there wouldn't be so much work to be done and you could both actually enjoy a holiday "vacation". You will remain dear in our hearts and memories forever. Emily, Bri, and Brandon, as well as your dad and I, will miss you.

No words can erase the pain that everyone is going thru at this time. My thoughts and Prayers go out to you. Eric was a dear friend to me and took care of Paul when I couldn't. I will miss him coming over and sleeping on the couch... and waking up to my son jumping on him. Lol My kids adored him and he was a wonderful "uncle Eric" to them.

Dear friends, neighbors and relatives,

Your kind words of Eric are so comforting at this time. He was loved more than he realized and made such a handprint on our hearts. We are all lucky to have had him touch our lives, so please "pay it forward" to others the good deeds, love and smile that Eric gave us so that we may make this world a better place one person at a time.

Thank you for your thoughts and sympathy at this time,

Love to you all,

Eric's Mom

Rest in peace, Eric. I will miss seeing you on Queen Annes Ct. It will not be the same. I will remember you as someone always willing to help and helping to keep your community beautiful (and the guy who never wore a shirt until winter-but hey, if you have it flaunt it, right?) You were one always willing to jump right in to cut the grass or whatever needed to be done. I pray that your family will find comfort in happy memories. Your neighbor at 2100 Queen Annes Ct.

Dear Sophie,
We were so saddened today to read of Eric's death. He was a wonderful and hard working young man. We'll never see the stone walls and steps he built in our yard without thinking of him and his willingness to help with whatever we needed done when he worked with us last year. Not only did we appreciate all the yard work he did for us, but we also thoroughly enjoyed his company and conversation. Our thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of loss, and you have our deepest sympathy.

Eric, It's been great hanging out with you and you will be greatly missed. I will never forget the times we spent together. You were truly a good friend and you will be missed. Until we meet again remember "Cool Deal".

It is so difficult being in Calif. now when I want so badly to be with all of you. I guess I have to trust that there is a reason and that God has all in His timing. Words just cannot express how sad I feel with the loss of Eric. His smile is what I will most remember. Also, some of our conversations, and his encouragement when there was something I was nervous about doing. He had the faith that I was lacking.
May God comfort and bless you all at this very sad time.
lots of love,
glor

WHERE I LOOK TODAY

David W. Cordle

From the first time I met Eric at EB Holley surveying I knew we would remain friends, of course on that he would be insistent. There is no way anyone can forget his charector, hard lived with a love of life. We have lost another fellow land surveyor. I say this because whatever difficulty we encountered Eric Mosley loved it and put all due professionalism into a job to its completion.
His passing out of our lives leaves an empty space in our hearts.
