There is a place, a gentle place, where weary hearts can rest. Where comfort and relief are found when spirits are distressed. There is a place, a peaceful place, for all the world apart and here there's room for one and all...close to our Father's heart.

I also was in the band with Eric. I remember how he would always make everyone laugh no matter what. He was such an amazing young man who will always be remembered by all who knew him in our thoughts, hearts, and prayers. My heart goes out to his family.

I went to school with Eric for 13 years and while we were never close friends... he was a good guy. He contacted me last week... a message that unfortunately due to my own busy schedule, I didn't respond to in time. Something I will always regret. I am so sorry for your loss.

Dear Vincent Family,
In sad times we must remember our happy memories. My memories of Eric were great and happy and I must assume that everyone Eric came in contact with would say the same. Need not think of this event as life and death; rather think of it as a great person whom created great memories with all of us.
God Bless

The Vincent's-
Words can't express what you're going through now, I'm sorry for your loss. Having to lay to rest a man with a good heart could never be easy, especially Eric. He was a sweet person and very caring. He was genuine with the words he spoke and was such a amazing person to be around, it's apparent that he made people laugh and brought out the best in most. There is never enough time to spend with people like him, but I think all will agree he was taken too fast. The memories that fill our minds will keep him alive in our hearts for years to come. May the Lord be with your family and his soul... He will be greatly missed! God bless*

Marsha and family,
We'll talk on Sunday. I'm so glad you stopped by instead of calling. We would have hugged you and cried with you for hours if you could have given up that much time. God, in His infinite wisdom seems to bring out our most loving feelings at the saddest times. Thinking of your loss breaks my heart; you've been through so much. See you all Sunday if not before.

Marsha and Family
So very sorry to read of your son's passing. You probably do not remember me, since you were such a small child the last that I had seen you. Your Aunt Naomi was my sister-in-law (I still miss her terribly) Your Uncle Bob (Glen, as we called him) was my brother.
You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. The good Lord will help you over the hurdles and you will have fond memories.
Thinking of you.

I remember being in Marching Band with Eric! I can't believe that he's gone! It gets harder every time I hear about somebody I went to school with who's passed away! Life is too short!
