To the family of Eric Sill,
You've never met me, but I was one of Eric's teachers at KCKCC. I wanted you to let you know I enjoyed being Eric as a student and that I am sorry for your loss.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I have known Eric since around the age of fourteen through soccer. He was a great player and a even better person. I will hold him and his family in my prayers. He had a lot of life left and he will be greatly missed.

I coached Eric in soccer and played soccer with Eric when he became old enough for our men's league. Any team, any sport, was better because of Eric. He always competed and was a great teammate. I'm crushed that much of the world will have missed Eric's greatness, and I hurt deeply for Dave and Carla. You were terrific parents of a wonderful son who left us way too early.

Your son was a kind, happy, and great person who was friends with everyone as he will be deeply missed. I have watched him grow up over the years and you both should be very proud of him as he was a great friend to my boys and to all you knew him.
You all will forever be in my hearts.

For those who suffer, and those who cry this night, give them repose, Lord;
a pause in their burdens. Let there be minutes where they experience peace,
not of man but of angels. (Margaret A. Davidson) I pray the Lord holds you and gives you comfort.
