Henderson family:
As Angie's mom I can sympathize with the pain and sadness of losing a loving part of your family. I want you to know that our hearts go out to you. I would like to personally thank your daughter who is in Jake's class for the kind and soothing words she said to him the first day he was back at school. It made that day a little more tolerable.If there is anything I can do for you please let me know. May God bless us all.

Raquel and Family,
I have been sitting here for weeks trying to think of the right words to say. But by being Angie's sister I know that there will never be right words or any words that could make the hurt go away. Believe me, I wish there was. But going through this horrible tragedy together, the only thing I can say is that I can relate to the pain of losing someone so close and dear to your heart. If any of you ever need anything even if you just want to talk just let me know. My shoulder is always here to cry on. I have included my e-mail address so you can contact me, and please do at anytime.

Dear Henderson Family and Friends,
Being married to Mike introduced me to his Best Friend, Eric. If Eric wouldn't have approved of me Mike and I wouldn't have gotten together. He was our best man. The two of them were best of friends and respected one another so much. A "brotherhood". You always wanted to be around the two of them when they were together but yet two steps away as you may be the recipient of a prank or joke. Eric is what a true friend should be. His strength, compassion, charisma, sense of humor, and kind friendship will be missed everyday! I too, like many others have a nick name. Eric and Brandon gave it to me nearly 14 years ago and I will cherish it forever. I am so glad to have known Eric and shared in his life. We will hang on to our memories and reflect on them daily. I will always share with the children what he stood for and the WONDERFUL, Dignified kind of man he was. He loved life and he loved his family and friends. I am devastated that he had to leave us so soon. May you all be blessed with peace today and the days ahead. Love always.

Dear Raquel:
My heart aches to know that you and the children have lost a wonderful husband & father. I only met you once when you visited our neighborhood where Eric used to live in Kent, Washington. (We lived across the street). I didn't realize you had a baby together until I read it in the paper. May she give you the love & strength you will need during this difficult time. Please pass onto Brittany and Brandon our love, I will always remember their sweet faces. I missed them when they moved. I hope they remember who we were. God Bless you and your family, Raquel.

I heard about the accident in the paper and the news. I never connected the name. I saw the obituary and it hit me like a brick. I am so sorry for your loss. Eric sounds like a wonderful son and father. Remember when you gave me his little orange flight suit with his name on it? My Eric loved wearing that. May you find peace with this tragic loss.

Raquel,
It was always nice to see you and Eric together. It was obvious that you loved each other very much. Keep that love in your heart always, and teach your children to be the kind of people that Eric was. Let their contribution to this world be his legacy. Be strong during this very difficult time and know that you have friends and family that care about you.

Dear Ranae and Leo and family,
We were so sad to hear of this tragedy. When I saw the picture of Eric, I told Floyd, it has to be, because he looks so like his Dad. We will always remember the great times we had on Long Island--1969 and 1970. It was many years of ago, but the memories are vivid as we recall our friendship.
Our thoughts and prayers have been in your behalf this week as we feel your sorrow. May our Heavenly Father comfort you, dear, dear friends.

RaNae and Shelly,
My heart and prayes are with you both at this time. There are many years between now and the last time I saw Eric but I still recall his warm smile and the love I know he had for each of you. Shelly you were more than his sister, I know he thought of you as his friend. I'll always remember him backing your Z-24 out of the driveway that summer I housesat for you while you were in Hawaii! He was on top of the world. I know that is the way he lived his life, on top of the world!

I remember all the advises you and Eric gave to me when I married Rachelle. Our trip to Las Vegas, you two were our witness. What a pleasure to have both of you there. What great friends you were. I remember Eric nickname my wife, bombshell because she is a great woman. I still call her bombshell. I remember Eric with the big smile, lots of energy/positive guy. He is a great friend and I will miss him. I would have like to grown closer to him. I remember when he was just starting flying in 2000 and how he wanted to fly the commerical planes, now he can in Heaven. He is watching down on you Raquel and all his children. He is good spirited and so are you. Have faith and he will guide you! Your thoughts and prayers are with me! I am sorry about your loss. I can't even imagine the sorrow and the pain you have. I am here if you need anything. Remember, he is your forever.

Raquel and Family,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I am devastated. My heart and prayers are with you. I have some good memories of him, our trip to Vegas, when I got married, his visits to Equitale. He is a great man. You made him a better man and he made you a better woman. What a perfect match. I loved to visit with both of you, the laughter, the jokes, the friendship we shared. He has such a big smile and a big heart. I cherish our friendship and wish your family the best. If I can do anything please feel free to ask. Hugs

I want to send my deepest sympathy to you all. Although I only met Eric a few times at trade shows we talked quite frequently over the last several years and I would consider Eric a friend. He was a very nice person that took much pride in his work and more importantly his family. My sincere condolences got out to you all. I will keep you in my prayers.

Dear Raquel, Children and Family:
I am so devastated for your loss. I have fond memories of Eric. I won't forget the fun times we shared. Our Vegas trip, company parties, and seeing him on Tuesday lunches. I could always joke with him and get a big smile and laugh. He did love to joke and tease. I will remember his humor and cleverness. After all he did nickname me Elmo. You have my deepest heartfelt sympathy. I cherish our friendship and hope if you need anything at all, you will let me help. Love and Hugs to all of you, Lori

Dear Ranee,
We are sooo sorry to hear of your loss. It's been so long but one of my fondest memories is when you and Eric came to our house and we (Eric and myself) watched Saturday Night Fever. I had such a crush on him then. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and Shelly.

Dearest Ranee,
My heart breaks for you and your family. I know how much Eric ment to you and what a great mother you were to him. The world will be a very different place without him in it. You have a big job ahead of you,to teach his new daughter what a wonderful man her father was and how much fun he was to be around,and how much he enjoyed life. He left doing what he loved the most. Know that he loved you very much and appreciated all that you and grandpa did for him. you are in our hearts and our prayers
love, Stacy

Dearest Raquel, Brittany, Brandon, McKenna and Paige, when I read the tragic news I became engulfed with an immense weight of sorrow and sadness, I tried to understand what you must be feeling. I can only imagine. I had to make some phone calls to make sure what I was seeing was real. I am so very, very sorry. Eric was a very careful, skilled and knowledgeable pilot, I watched Eric earn his ratings and build his hours, and Eric was a pilot I would entrust with my family. Eric was safe and a very conscious pilot, aware and well informed. I will miss Eric and I am thankful for the many great memories that you’re Husband and Father gave me, I will cherish and hold onto them with the greatest and deepest of respect. My heart and every fiber of my being will be with you at this time of great, sadness. I know Eric is up now flying with the Perrys the Johns and the rest of the best of the very best. I know we all will get through this, and this tragedy that seems so unfair will be part of the strongest personal foundations we could have in this experience we call life. Unfortunately, I am unable to be there to pay my last respects to this great guy; I will be there in sprit and thought. My prayers are with you all. Thank you Eric, I will miss you.
