Eric M. Brander

As the first anniversary of your passing approaches, I am still in shock that you are gone so young and that a whole year has gone by. I am so proud of your family and the strength and courage they have shown in the wake of this terrible tragedy. Your picture hangs at my desk at work, and I know your passing has affected my kids in more ways than I can imagine. The realization that any of us can be taken at any moment makes us all more conscience that you must live every day as if it were...

Not a day goes by where I don't think about you. I wear my EB wristband every day. Sometimes when I go to town and country, i say to myself, "I wonder if Eric's working today." I miss seeing you when I'd walk in the door, and you encouraging me when I got mad. I also miss getting to strike and spare an hour before league started, and just sitting there and talking with Paige. I remember the one night we were on the phone for hours, and we recorded the conversation but you didn't know haha....

Hey Eric!
I miss you, alot. Its really tough with you being gone. I still am thinking about the day when you let me drive the mustang (: And told me that "everything will be okay, if not its not the end". I went over by you this past weekend. I told you everything that has happened since you've been gone. Ha, Yah know.. I never stop talking. I hope your family knows that my family is still praying for them. My mom knows how much you meant to me as a bestfriend. Im letting you know that...

I caught myself thinking about u a while ago, i've been trying to come on here and say how much i miss you but everytime i punk out. I've been in school for 9days now and i still cant look at the spot in the big case that they made for you. Its really hard sometimes especially when i think wheres erics white mustang but when im sad about u being gone i say to myself that your here in spirit watching over everyone and soon enough we'll all be in the same place again and that makes everything...

"Anyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."
You've changed into your heavenly being as we will all do the same someday and see you again.

Graduation is right around the corner and your suppose to be here, celebrating this life this enjoyment we...
