Hi family, Mr G was a dear friend of 21 rears, a mutual friend in need and in deed. Many times we talked of passing into eternity.I know that he was ready to submit to God's plan. Please be comforted that God will hold you in His loving arms and bring peace into your lives. Eric will not want you to mourn and weep.He has crossed over where there is no more pain , suffering and struggle with the trials of this world. Just be confident that you will meet again in eternity in our eternal home in God's kingdom.

It seems as if were hours ago I held your hand and watched you grow into a man who had a plan and lived his dreams. Too soon departed and taken away. I hold not your hand at this time but the memory of your life will always entwine with mine.. I don't say goodbye because it is so final as it is in God's plan I will see you again. Love your sister Pat
