but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.
I pray for you and your family keep your faith you will be with Eric again.

Dear Forrester Family,

Words just can't express the sorrow we feel at the tragic death of Eric. He was such a wonderful young man. My girls were in classes with Eric throughout the years at Wedgwood and Southwest and it was through them that I knew Eric. We will never forget your son. God Bless You All.

I remember Eric as a toddler, jumping on your couch and so very smiley. Such a happy little guy. You have our deepest sympathy. The funeral was so touching - Sean's eulogy was so profound. It is my understanding that the 3 siblings put together the entire program and they all did a wonderful job. We love you and you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dickey, Debbie and Family,

I’m so sorry to hear of the tragic loss of your son Eric. He was a young man to be proud of for his accomplishments and the generosity of life to those who where in need. There are no words that can be said that will fill the void of losing your son but try to remember the special times you had together to help carry you through the times of emptiness.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.

To the family of Eric..I have not the words to express my sorrow, pain and grief. I am a single parent with one child who is an 18yr old. This is pain beyond for such ignorance and violence to a beautiful young man. I am praying with and for you.

Van Thomas n James(son). God bless.

Richard, I was so sorry to hear about your son's tragic death. I also regret that it is a terrible event such as this that brings us back in contact after our high school years. My family extends to your family our deepest sympathy. Your friend, Larry Hamilton.

Sean and Nikki,
My heart goes out to you and your whole family. Somehow I got the impression on the two occasions that I saw Eric with you, that Eric was older than he was. From the comments and the testimonials, I gather that he is an "old soul" and accomplished and lived much more than the average 17 year old. I know that you will always have a very close and special bond with your brother. It was apparent to me even from a distance. My prayers are with you Eric, Sean, and Nikki.

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Forrester & Family,

I do not know your family personially, but please except my deepest sympathy. I know what it is like to lose a love one, but I can't imagine losing a child. Your child from everything that I have read and heard was a wonderful son. I will keep you in my prayers and just knowing that we will see our love one's someday, can give us comfort.

I never had the opportunity to meet Eric, but I do know some of his relatives. I am so sorry to hear of this fine young life taken so needlessly. He was obviously quite an extraordinary person and will missed by all and welcomed by our Lord. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

April 20, 2010

I did not know Eric. However, I was deeply inspired by his life and saddened by his untimely, unnecessary and utterly tragic death. My heart goes out to his family as my praises are lifted up to God, who sustains us in our most trying times. May Eric's life continue to be a blessing to all who knew him as well as to those who did not have the privilege of being in his presence. Eric is now in the presence of his Lord.

Forrester family,

My deepest sympathies go out to you. My heart is broken over such senseless violence. God blessed this earth was such an angel in your brother,nephew,cousin son, and friend. His life will continue to touch others, so I hope that there is some comfort in that. Continued prayers and love to your family. God Bless You All.

No words can express my deepest sympathy or condolences to you. This tragedy has the SW FTW community outraged in grief. My children attend SWHS, I am a Class of '92 Alumni. They did not know Eric personally, but all the same they didn't have to know him personally to know he was a wonderful human being. He gave hope that there were still "good guys" around,& an example of what my girls were to look for in a "boyfriend." We pray God's love, peace, & comfort surround your minds & hearts. But most of all I pray for JUSTICE for Eric. Hold fast to the word of God, He will have it all in control!

April 19, 2010

God rest your soul, Eric. You were an extraordinary young man and God now has another perfect Angel.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Forrester and Showmaker families at this difficult time. Kali, you're in my heart dear girl, and I'm saying special prayers for you.

It is with a heart filled with shock & regret that I learned of your loss -- my daughter Melanie (Breeze) Henshaw called to alert me that Eric's mom was one of my former CampFire Girls -- Debbie Showmaker -- my daughters also knew Cindy. We cannot fathom the purpose of such a loss, so full of promise; however, the prayer that never fails is ours -- "God's will be done. . ." My prayers are sent to all his family. Grace Breeze

To the Parents and Family of Eric,

I am very sorry for your tragic loss. I did not have the privledge of knowing Eric, but in what I have read and heard and he was an extraordinary young man who had a lot going for him. To his parents, I would like to say that you should be proud of him, and yourself for doing an outstanding job in raising him and teaching him values.
It is unfortunate that the individuals who took his life, were not taught the same.
I hope it brings you comfort to know that your loss has impacted many.

You will be in my thoughts and prayers, and again, I am deeply sorry for your loss.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Forrester family and friends. I will miss seeing him in church, such a tragic, sad loss. Please take comfort that Eric is now home with Heavenly Father and you will see him again. God bless.

April 19, 2010

I am sorry for your loss and as one of Eric's merit badge instructors I feel deeply saddened for his loss and the loss of a fellow Scout. I can not imagine the pain you feel and wish that I could attend the memorial service tomorrow. Since I can not a few scouts at my school and I are wearing our full class A with a black arm band in remeberance of Eric and the family.

I beleive Eric fulfilled Baden Powell's (founder of scouts in america) final wishes by "leaving this world a little bit better than you found it".

The Son of God in tears The wondering angels see !


Be then astonish'd, 0 my soul ! He shed those tears for thee.


"He wept that we might weep, Each sin demands a tear; In heaven alone no sin is found, And there's no weeping there."
God bless your family in this time of bereavement. I have had you in my thoughts and prayers frequently this last week. I know your grief as my husband died 10 months ago.

I hear about murders and killings every day but for some reason this one just hit me like a brick. Im an LDS teen and perhaps it hit me so hard because he planned on serving a mission. Honestley i couldn't tell you. But i just wanted to let his family know that although he has passed he is still having a profound effect on me ,and i didin't even know him, but it feels like i did or should have. Today many youth from my ward fasted for Eric's family and friends and we continue to pray that you will be comforted. The few years you will be without Eric will be but a small moment when you think about the Eternitys. I'm sure He will preach the Gospel in the spirit world and continue to have a profound impact on others.

Dear Debbie, Richard and family,

Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with you. We understand how lives can be changed in an instant, in ways that we cannot imagine -- and we understand how our knowledge of the plan of salvation and exaltation can bring comfort in painful times of need.

Each one of us agreed to come here to take upon us a body of flesh and bone and be tested for a time, so we could return to our Heavenly parents, at the right time. For some, it takes less time in mortality to be proven worthy to return -- Eric is one of these.

Be assured that Eric will continue to grow and progress beyond the veil and not be denied any of the blessings that have been promised to each one of Heavenly Father's children.

Love,
Phil and Peggy Besselievre

I didn't know Eric but I went to Southwest with Sean. I would see Sean in the halls and I would hear stories about him through friends and I was always so impressed with his character. I remember thinking that he must come from a great family to have instilled so much confidence and spiritual obedience in him. I'm so sorry to hear of such a horrible tragedy happening to such a great family. From what I have read about Eric he had the same values that Sean had and I'm sure that without even knowing it, he had people in the halls who watched with envy as he walked faithfully with God.

Martha Wiesman

April 16, 2010

I extend my deepest sympathy to your family for this tragic loss. I don't know him except for the news stories, but I can tell from the news coverage that he was a beloved son, brother, uncle, grandson and his family loved him deeply. The fact that he was taking time to have lunch with his sister tells me something about his love for family. I know he was a good student who had his priorities right ~ love for God and family first. May God fill your hearts with his love and peace. Your son will be greatly missed.

Rob

Deepest condolences on the tragic loss of your beloved son, brother, & friend. Find solace that Eric resides in the Kingdom of Heaven with God Almighty. You will see him again.

I never knew Eric or his family personally, but as an alumni of SHS (Class of 1986), I have friends who knew his uncle Chris and aunt Jennifer. When I heard the news, I was just really stunned and saddened that Eric was taken at such a young age. Know that, on behalf of the members of the SHS Class of 1986 and especially those that knew members of the Showmaker family, my thoughts and prayers are with all of Eric's family through this horrible tragedy.
