Hi Jim and Deana,

I was a friend of Eric's throughout high school and we reconnected a year or two before he died. I tried calling him one day and his phone was disconnected. I heard long after his death. I have not had closure for some reason and have been dreaming about him lately. If you read this, I would love to know where he is buried, if he is buried somewhere... My email is [email protected]. I know how close your family was and I am so sorry for your loss.

Deana,
So sorry to come across this news of your son while searching for your Brother Randys e-mail address. I lost an 18 year old son in a car crash in 1998 so I know the pain. I was Randy's buddy in Richland,wa and spent some time with you and him when you came to washington to visit your parents around 1973 and then again when I came to Las Vegas to stay with Randy for a week in 1975. My sympathy to you and Jim.

Eric, Nathan, and I were inseperable as kids. I loved him so much. He and Nathan are the closest things to brothers that I have ever had. I treasure my fondest memories of that wonderful heart. I remember him singing "Elvira" when he was three. When he dressed up as the Loan Ranger, Nathan was Tonto, and I was Pocahontas for Halloween when we were little. I remember his third of fourth birthday when my mom and Auntie Deana spent all day on the cake and he put his hands right in it while we sang him Happy Birhtday. The world was a better place with that wonderful person in it and such a sad place without him. Uncle Jim, Auntie Deana, and Nathan my thoughts and prayers are with you. You are all so important to me and I am so sad that I couldn't be there for you during this hard time. Please remember even though I am hundreds of miles away, you are always in my heart. Eric...Thank you for all of the wonderful memories. I love you with all my heart.

Dear Jim & Deana,
I go back in years, precisely in the 70's as I was a friend and co-worker with your Mom & Dad. Joanne & I worked as Realtors with Jessie Emmett Realty and then with Village Realty. You & Abby were young and may not remember me but I want you to know that I am very sad for you upon the loss of your son. Please accept my condolences and prayers that you have the strength to get through this.
I'm so sorry. May God keep you in the palm of His hand during this very difficult time and beyond.
