I want to thank everyone for all the love & support I've received this past week. My family has been a rock. Eric was blessed to have such a large family who loved him so much. My son Brandon and my daughter Carrie were beyond amazing. All his brothers and sisters gave so much and are greatly appreciated. My grandchildren have wonderful role models in all of you.
