Eric, you have been apart from us for 1 year now. Life is just not the same with out you. We all love and miss you so much. I hope you enjoyed your day with me today, and I am sorry that I had to put you in my little pink purse, it was the only thing that I could find to carry you in!!! So, you got to see the exciting life I live! And please do me a favor, can you tell the Big Man upstairs not to take my boyfriend Warren, it's not his time yet. Maybe he'll listen to you.

Hi Eric,

And it usually seems to hit me right around the 12th - 13th of every month. Just for no reason at all I begin to cry. Well, guess what? You know what's always been one of my dreams? Was to go to Vegas and shoot pool, well, it's going to happen. On September 13th 2007, (your day) I will be in...
