You will be so missed, Eric. All my thoughts are with Cheryl, Mitch and Greg at this time. I knew Eric as a little boy and I saw him recently, when he had grown into a young man. Be well, my friend, as you reunite with your grandparents and your dad.

Dear Cheryl,
I taught Eric for 3 years at Algonquin and knew him for 4. What a brain....he was such a creative, smart, funny, artistic kid. He had such a kind heart and could cheer up any kid who was having a tough day. I was lucky enough to get to know and teach Eric. Most of the time he was teaching me lessons about life. He made me laugh everyday. I hope that you can find the peace that you need to get through this difficult time.
Best,
Alison Chan

My deepest sympathy and love goes out to Cheryl, her sons and family. In Eric's brief life, he brought a lot of joy to his family and had the admiration and love of his older brothers. I was present at Eric's birth 18 years ago and will always remember the look of love on his mother's face and the bond that developed as she held him for the first time. That bond transcends death and Eric will always live in the heart of Cheryl and his loved ones. I wish that I knew what to say, Cheryl, to ease your pain over the tragic loss of your cherished son. You are in my thoughts and prayers and I am here for you anytime. God Bless.
