Mike, Belinda, Michael, and Erica,
I am so sorry for your loss. I wish there was something I could say to help ease the pain, but I know there is nothing. I'll miss Eric's visits to the wreath shop. He always gave us a laugh. You are in my thoughts.
Love, Ginger

To the Stover Family,
Live On
It's always hard to lose a family member,
Especially if they're in their prime.
But it's always the good times you remember
when you think of them from time to time.
It's sometimes hard to understand,
Especially if your young
That's why someone will take you by the hand
Until your crying is done.
When you wake in the dawn,
You'll think they are just asleep

Our family is saddened to hear of the loss of Eric. It is always tragic to lose one so young and full of life. I never got the chance to meet Eric but I know from reading the messages posted on this board and listening to what people say that he was well loved and will be greatly missed. You were all blessed to have him in your life even though it was for a short time. My heart goes out to you and I will hold you in my prayers.

To the entire Stover family,
I am saddened to hear that Eric passed away. He will be missed by our seventh-grade class and the entire school.
Eric worked hard in all his language arts subjects of English, spelling, and literature. He often eagerly endeavored to be the first one to finish an assignment so he could gain a few extra bonus points. He tried to be as neat as possible and usually listened well to the lessons.
Eric also enjoyed helping me clean the room, run...
