Erik Satterstrom

A friend of a friend just passed away a few hours ago in an accident. It broke my heart and made me think of you...

I didn't know you well, and in fact just met earlier in the day of your passing. I even remember what I was wearing, the look on your face when I hugged you in gratitude for the favor you'd done me (didn't mean to catch you off-guard ;-)). My thoughts and prayers are still with you and your family.

Just wanted you to know...you are still in our prayers and on our minds. Erik will not be forgotten and your family is loved....TJ, Jay, Linds, Jess, Aubrey and Sierra

Dear Satterstroms,
I was recently working out at the cal poly gym and it brought back great memories from the previous year. God Bless Lil E'

Dear Norm and Joy,

April and I are so sorry to hear of Erik's loss. Our kids are still reading Erik's old Ranger Rick magazines, and his and Krysta's blue pool is still in use at April's brother's house.

We so do not understand why things like this happen, but we will pray for the peace that passes understanding. We love you and miss you and so deeply sympathize with you.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss . My thoughts are with all of you

To the Satterstrom family, I had the pleasure of meeting your son at my sisters home (the Harding's)on a few occasions. It has taken me a week to think of what to say as I myself am trying to cope with the loss of my Nephew "Max" I know the pain you must be feeling and I pray for God to comfort you in these hard times. Please pray for our family as well.

Uncle John...

Dear Joy and family-
My heart goes out to your family. I am praying for healing and I am so sorry that this accident occurred. I can not imagine the pain you are feeling at the loss of your son. I love you guys

Dear Satterstrom family -
I have been so very sad to hear of your loss. I didn't know Erik well and probably only chatted with him a couple of times, but I can only imagine the pain of losing a son and a younger brother. Krysta, honey, I wish I could be hugging you. I will keep you all in my prayers. My heart is sad with you.

Two things come to mind...Erik's amazing smile, and those dimples :), from the time he was a cute little cubbie, his smile was irresistable. The second thing is how much this just doesn't seem fair. I don't understand God sometimes, I really don't, but I have come to realize, it's not my place to understand Him, just to love Him. You are awesome people with incredible strength, and I am praying that in the coming weeks you will see what an impact your lives, and Erik's too early death,...
