Eric R. DeLang

My son---as I sit at the computer in your bedroom--memoires are always here. Now 17 years have passed--hard to believe that you have been gone that long. I often wonder what--your life would have offered you--and --where and what you would being doing now. Great things --I hope! As you know I think of you every day. As tears fall--if words could only bring you back--I'd write forever--to see you one more time--my son!!!!!! Boy--I miss you--they said time cures all things--I doubt it--it...

You were one of a kind.... God bless your soul.

Crazy it's been ten years buddy, I always wonder what you'd be doing now if you were still here. Still got a lot of great memories though. Your old buddy rob hasn't forgot about you!

Hello My Angel,
My last message for you in this book, but never our last conversation.
I miss you Eric, your laugh, your smile, your blue eyes. I have a box with some of your special things. Aunt Patty made a recording of your cell phone message so I can hear your voice.
Life has gone on for a year and a month and all seems the same; but the void you left is immence.
You know what is in my heart; you know what I wish was different. We don't get what we want, I will never know...

I'd driven down the road where you had your accident and stop and say WHY did this have to happen to my son!! I quess I'll never...

Hey,

BF or not you were my best friend and breathing with no air is impossible, from the bottom of my heart I love you like none other. Not seeing your smiling face has really affected me but you have helped me motivate myself like never before, same with my roomates! Eric, you were the best thing that could have ever...

Hello, I had to write to tell how Eric has influenced my life. I was glancing through the Pennysaver in late July when I noticed the Happy Birthday notice for him. I was moved when I realized the sad truth... he had left us too soon. I was compelled by his father's words, "to appreciate what we have because in a split second life changes..." I cut the notice out, and hung it on my calendar to remind me to always hug my kids and to tell the people in my fast- paced life that I LOVE THEM. ...
