Eric,
I can't believe that it's been 1 year. Sometimes when I think of you and Molly it seems like an eternity since I seen you both. I sure do miss you and miss hearing you play and sing Keith Urban...You are forever in my heart. I love you and I wish so much that you were still here.

My heart is breaking more and more everyday!!!!! I am still in disbelief.... I am faced with so many times that I want to pick up the phone and call you, go out to eat and just hang out.... I miss your beautiful smile, laugh, and your smell and touch... the way you would tell me..."Mom, you are so pretty!"...and I would kid you and say.."OK, Eric what do you want?" and you would say.."Nothing, I am serious." I can't believe 19yrs and 5 months passed by so quick... I still feel like we had so much still to do and say. on 12-05-07, i felt like I died.. not only did I feel like it, but I did die... I and kyle and the entire family has never been the same. Time does not heal wounds, it only makes it more real to me that you are not coming to see me or call me.. and your Birthday is approaching so so so fast...the BIG 20!!!! Wow... what am I suppose to do.... I wish I could avoid the month of JULY!!!!! we had some great POOL parties for your birthday.... I remember your 16th birthday... all your friends would come over and family and we would swim, play music, and cook out... Eric I just don't know what I am going to do... You are always on my mind... and I hope to see you soon one day.... you have forever changed my life in so so so many ways... I am thankful to have known you , thankful for your friends that loved you and cared for you, I am just thankful and blessed to have YOU share your short life with me.... I forever miss you and Love you more than anything I could ever imagine.... I MISS U SO BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love forever, your broken-hearted MOM

OMG... Eric I have had some tough times here without you... I don't think time will ever heal this broken heart... TIME is only a constant reminder that I am never gonna talk to you, hug you or feel your presence or hear you play the guitar and sing... I am going to be doing a new CD in honor of you and Kyle... you two guys are my life.... Seems like only yesterday we were talking on the phone and you were crying and telling me how much you missed me... and now I am the one crying and missing you so bad.... I still am thinking about coming to see you on your birthday.... that is one day that I am not looking forward to... I think and feel like that day will kill me.... I hope to see you in my dreams and visit me when u can... I love you my guitarman...love always and forever, your forever broken hearted mom

To Eric Bratcher's Family
I am so sorry to read about the death of your love one. Nothing can take away the heartache and pain we feel when we lose a love one in death, but God's word can give us a measure of comfort. God assures us: "He is near to those that are broken at heart and those who are crushed in spirit he saves." (Ps. 34:18) God knows the heartache at time seems unbearable se he tells us to throw your burden upon him and he will sustain you (Ps 55:22)He is a God of "Love"(1 John 4:8) He does care about us and soon he promises to bring an end to all sorrow. He said he is 'making all things new and death will be no more(Rev.21:3,4). Jesus also promise a "resurrection" to life. Therefore we have the hope of seeing our love ones again in a Paradise Earth. Until that time I hope that your warm memories of Eric along with these words of God will bring comfort and give you hope in this time of grief.
You have my deepest sympathy.

To Eric's Family -
It's such an enormous blow to the heart to lose the most important thing in your world in an instant. Hard to know what to do next, what to think, how to just exist without that little orbiting bundle of energy and love that is your child. There are no words, enough tears, sufficient anger or levels of sorrow to describe that hole. It will be filled in time by loved ones, memories, and the comfort you'll eventually get from knowing your precious angel is safe, without pain, surrounded by love and with you in your heart all the time. You will always cherish and miss him, but simply know that the aching and agony of living without him will subside. He loved you very much. Be at peace.

Eric home from the hospital, he was sooooo tiny, but he was a fighter & he was a beautiful child. i know he was a blessing & a Gift from God, also i know your heart is broken, cause loseing a child has to be the most devistating thing for any Mother to go thru, my heart &my prayers are with you @ this terrible time that you are going thru Connie, may God keep you in his loving arms as i know he will and God Bless you and your family. alaways your friend sweetheart.

Dear Eric,
Clearly, you touched the lives of many in your short life. I didn't know you personally. I know Joe Wright, and recently had the pleasure of meeting your beautiful mother. When I heard of your passing, I played the song Danny wrote, He's Able. I listened to your mother's voice and could only imagine her pain. Your family has been through some extremely challenging times this year. I know your memory will always bless them, and that your music will live forever in the hearts of those you've touched.
I pray for your family's peace at this time, Eric - and say a prayer of thanks to our Lord for the time you had here, for your love and your gifts.

Eric,
I wish we had had the opportunity to meet you. From everything your family and friends have said, you were one, very special young man who brought great joy to those who knew you. You apparently touched many lives in a most positive way. You are gone for now, but never forgotten. We will carry your memory in our hearts till we are all together again in heaven.

I struggle with selecting the right words of comfort. I'm not even sure there are any words that will ease your pain. As mothers we cry on the first day of school and wait anxiously for their return. We cry tears of pride at their successes. We cry at graduation. And cry when they cut the apron strings to embark on their own journey. With each tear cried, we show them our love. The tears you cry now will fill the oceans with your love. I believe Eric will show you his love with the sunshine, the rain, a familiar wind, and a blanket of snow. His love will wrap around you and carry you through each day. You'll feel him near as he will always be with you. Be strong and let him live on through you.

Eric, I miss you so much but knowing that I will see you someday again and get to hear your beautiful voice is keeping me strong. I know you are in a better place and happy now. I'll always love you
