Not sure what to say?

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. We had the pleasure of meeting Erik several years ago, during a visit with his Mother in law, Georgina...he came across as a real family man and a gentle soul. Eric was taken far too soon, but I'm sure he is kept busy designing something wonderful up there!
Love and hugs,
Marie, Lena and family

Erik was taken from us far to soon,our hearts are broken with sadness. He influenced all of us by example, a man of character and kindness, wisdom beyond his years. A great designer was he. Our love for him will live on forever in memories. Words cannot express our loss of our wonderful Erik who we dearly miss. Deepest sympathy to all the Purdom family. We will keep you in our prayers.

My hope and prayers go out to Erik's family. I knew Erik only in the late stage of his illness and I found him to be brave.

Peace...be with you all.

I am sorry to learn about Erik's passing away. I knew Erik to be passionate about the design of all things (from shoes to architecture). I'm glad to have known him. I offer my prayers for him and his family.

We offer our prayers to Erik's family and friends for their loss.

I went to high school with Erik and was dismayed to hear of his passing. He was always a happy and pleasant person to be around, and considerate of others. As often happens, graduation was the last time that I saw Erik. I am sure that he grew into a fine man who will be missed greatly by all. My deepest sympathy to his family and those dear to his heart.
