Dear Lee and Jeannie -
I just learned of the tragic passing of Eric. I am at a loss for words, so I will borrow some from Abraham Lincoln,
"I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours for having raised such a loving, faithful and wonderful son."
Yours, very sincerely,
Steve, Cori and Zoe Peloso

Jeannie, thank you to you and your husband for giving us the opportunity to have Eric at the Te Deum young adult group. You two did a great job raising such a fine young man. I’m so grateful to you and Eric for all the help last year with the amazing and delicious food for SEEK. I will always remember Eric’s kind and joyful spirit. He brought a lot of joy to the group and we will continue to pray for the repose of his soul and for your family. I’m so sorry I cannot attend the funeral, but be assured of my prayers for him. I feel extremely blessed to have met Eric and I can’t wait till we get to see him again in heaven! May God grant you peace and give you the strength through this difficult time. +JMJ+

To our Illinois Family,
So many tears and memories. I remember the 4 year old boy running around and curious about
everything in his sight. My last memory was of a
beautiful young man driving me to his home the last time I was in Chicago. His soul just shone
through on that journey. I loved Eric.What good parents you both are.
With much love and care to Jeannie, Lee and Emily
from Aunt Anita and cousin Eve

You are in our prayers at this most difficult time. Eric coached my son and my husband was his team manager for his first coaching year in Oak Park. We both had great regard for Eric. It was always a pleasure to see his big smile at the rink and his face light up when he talked about coaching. He was a treasure and will be sorely missed.
