Not sure what to say?

Although it has been 16 years since Eric's passing, I still remember him from grade school, middle school, and high school. He spoke so much about the lake place and cabin which is family frequented through out each summer. I am sorry for his children's loss as well as the rest of the family he preceded, moving onto a greater adventure. I am certain that his enthusiastic and adventuresome spirit lives on in his family and friends.

Dad,
I miss you. Summer's been fun, very warm at times so I've been drinking a lot of water, don't worry. I wish you were here to enjoy the lake this year. I've been wakeboarding a couple times, gotten better at it do. I even did a 180! I moved Hannah up to Prelim too. We won at Otter Creek & have been doing really well since then. I hope your havin fun on the lake windsurfing and wakeboarding and rollerblading, I'm doing the best I can right now without you but at times its hard....

Dear Gaye,...I am so sorry to hear from your dad about your loss. He sounds like he was a wonderful and warm-hearted person, and I'm sure you miss him very much. The Lord bless you and keep you.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. May the memories of all the good times bring you comfort.

Dear Lund Family,
Eric's absolute zest for life and the inspiration he gave us to fully live every moment of every day -- whether windsurfing or playing croquet -- will be remembered and cherished by us always. May you find some comfort in all of the many memories - and the smile he left with us all.

Gaye, girls and family,
We were saddened to hear of your loss. Although Eric struggled for some time, we will remember him for his warmth and kindness. Our deepest condolences to you all.

Dear Lund Family,
How blessed we are to have so briefly known Eric who did seem to truly live life to the fullest and to have the wonderful presence of his daughter Maggie in our lives.
Love Always,

John and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine what you are going through. You and your family are in my prayers.
