Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.

This is still very surreal to me.
I Miss you terribly. I cant stand the thought of not seeing you again.

You will always be in our hearts...Always
Love you

Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones shines down to let us know they are with us. You, Eric, are one of the brightest stars up there, just as you were here with us - You light up a room every time you walked in with that beautiful smile of yours. I Love You and will miss you terribly.

To my cousin Eric... I still do not know why this has happened. You will be remembered as the amazing person you were. I will never forget the feeling of your hugs, so warm and safe. Like Rose said, I loved your surfer voice! Thank you for being in our lives and blessing us with so many smiles. Give Grandma and Grandpa hugs from me... I know you are smiling down on us. Love you forever

Eric ... I still don't want to believe and I know you're smiling and happy and I'm happy that you're happy, but I miss you terribly. I will always have the most special place in my heart for you. Seeing your face always made mine light up and I loved sharing the love of good music with you.. You definitely expanded my taste over the years. I'll miss your hugs and your soft voice and all the great love you spread.

To my handsome and amazing cousin Eric. My heart aches that you are gone but I still have our memories we've shared together and I can still hear your "surfer" voice in my head. I love you always and forever.

I love you!

I only knew Eric for a short time while at Fidelity Technology here in Reading, PA. He was always personable and known as a good worker.
