I would like to thank my mother, Vicky, for being there for Eric when I couldn't be. For checking his sugar levels, and his vitals, more importantly for being there that Sunday afternoon when he needed someone the most. For calling 911, for reasuring him, and for carring for him. Thank's mom for everything. Love Pollyanna

To the Peters' family:
Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss. I did not have the pleasure of knowing Eric, but I served as a police officer for the city of Rochester when Derek was a firefighter, Derek and I have been friends for quite a long time.
