I miss EB everyday. And I'm so sorry for the pain and loss his family has to endure. He had a kind heart, quick wit, and was truly a gentleman that everyone wanted to be around.

Tara and Juliana-you have been in my thoughts and prayers daily. My heart goes out to you. The Deckers love you! I am so very sorry for your loss.

To lose someone so dear is never easy, and we will never get use to the loss. But it is encouraging to know that God, who is a happy God, did not create us to suffer like this, He created us to enjoy life. Since He created us to enjoy life, His purpose hasn't changed. God promises that soon he will make this earth into a paradise, and we will see our love ones again. This promise is what I hold dear to my heart, and it brings me comfort. For I know God cares, and desires to relieve the hurt that we go through.

My deepest sympathy to Tara, Juliana, and
all of those who loved Eric.

He was always a friendly and courteous neighbor. I felt that I could ask him and Tara for help anytime if I needed it.

And he like to dress up for Halloween as much as I do.

May God rest his soul and watch over his family in their time of sorrow.

I am so very sorry.
