Dear Gayle and Ray: I remember with fondness all the times Chris Cambron, Emily Brown and I were at your house and we were so silly that Eric pretended he didn't know us. Rightfully so. I am so sorry for your loss. You are in my prayers.

Ray & Gayle: It has been many years since I've seen the two you, but I remember you both well. I'm sorry to read of Eric's much too young passing. We go way back to music practice at Meadowlark School, and having our College moments at MSU. I have fond memories of Eric during those days. Since then, I ran into him a few times over the years and visits were enjoyable. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Ray and Gayle,
My deepest sympathies for you both. I still see Eric's face, energy and his mischeviousness. The neighborhood always had life as long as Eric was around.
