My deepest sympathy to the family of Eric. I didn't know him personally but work for a couple who are related to Eric and who are deeply saddened by his loss.

Dear Gino and Dariel:
Having lived across the street from you in Floosmoor brings back many wonderful memories of Eric growing up right before us. Ted called us and we were shocked and deeply saddened by your loss. Our prayers are with you and your family during these days of grieving. We rest easy knowing that he is "HOME" looking over you now. Sincerely, Carolyn and Dave Hilton
