Eric,
It has been a month now and my heart is crushed. I don't understand what happened and why you were taken from us at such a young age. I am beginning to know that there is nothing I can do, nor there is no way I can understand. I do know that someday I will be with you and it will all make sense then. I know Leigh, Your Mother, Adam, Melanie, Rosie, Tiffany, and countless others, will be forever grateful for the laughs, smiles, and love you gave us while you were here. I know you worked hard and sometimes were worried about where your life was going and how you were going to get there. I am proud of you. You achieved more than I could ever of expected. I hope you know I did all could of done for you out of love, even though sometimes it didn't seem that way to you. I miss you scaring me at work, I miss your smile, I miss when you laughed so hard your tongue just hung out. I miss you trying to lick me even though I hated that at the time. One thing that is really hard is the daily phone calls in the mid morning and after you got out of work in the evenings. I always asked "what's up" and you would say "I'm just calling you". Oh what I would give to hear that again. I don't know why typing this is going to make me feel as if it is going to make it better, but It is a source of expression for me. Please watch over us and help us get through this. Please keep a peaceful hand over your Brother and Melanie, Your Mom and Leigh and I, your Aunts, Uncles, cousins, and Friends that all miss you and Love you till we meet again. Give Granny and every other loved one that is with you a big Hug from us.
You were my Angel here on earth, now you are my Real Angel from above in Heaven. Please find a way to connect with me. I really could use that right now. I just need to feel you close and know it is you!
I love you so much,
Dad

Oh Sam, you had a picture of God each time you looked at Eric. He was your Angel here on earth. your love and devotion to him shown thru each time you talked about him. I loved watching your face light up as you would regale us with his antics. he was truly one of God's chosen ones. I hope that, in the rest of your life, you will keep that great smile and light in you eyes as you remember your beloved Eric. Remember you are loved even by an "old" coworker. Monte and I are praying for you and your family God Bless

Diane, Sam & Family, What a wonderful, loving and caring young man Eric grew up to be. It seems like yesterday he and Carly were little ones in school. He had such a funny sense of humor with jokes he told us! He was always quick with a smile and a hug. Please accept my most heartfelt sympathy with his passing. He was truly a bright light in the world.

Dear Kulesza Family,
My heart is heavy with sadness to hear of the passing of Eric.
I worked with Eric at St. Thomas and he was friends with my nephew Corey.
Every time I saw him he would give me a hug and ask how Corey was doing.
He was such a happy person and that smile of his just made you smile too.
May the peace and love of Jesus give you comfort in this difficult time.
