Dear Matt Sr.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. It was good to see you again. I would of liked to seen you under different circumstances though.

Matt, just remember what I told you. Life is too short, and everyone should make the people that are a part of their life, top priority. Don't let anything get in the way of love. Everyone should cherish the life that they live and have, cause you just do not know what could happen. Life is full of suprises. My deepest sympathy. May God Bless Each & Everyone Of You!!!

Dearest Angela and Gwendolyn,
I am sorry that I cannot be there to share your grief, you should know how much Eric and your darling Gwendolyn and yourself were and are dear to us. Ryan and I have been talking about our memories of your visits, and of course the camping in our yard visit is one of our favorites. I remember that Ryan was only one and a half or so, and that you and Eric both had quite a connection with him. He remembers that visit, so you both left an impression. He also remembers being held and loved by you both at Uncle Butch's backyard pond during another visit, and I knew then that you would both make fine parents by the way that we all connected. Then finally a visit to my home with baby Gwen, those are the pictures that I sent along. Eric was a kind and gentle young man, and we will miss and remember him dearly. Angela, please know that you are a part of my my family, of our family, and we will alway's be there for you. I hope that you know I cared for you before and especially hope you know that now. This is a real honest and sisterly invitation, and one I would like to be called upon to be fulfill. Call and come vist.
XXOOXX Kelly and Ryan Lay

Dear Terry & Family,

My deepest sympathy to your family. I know what everyone of you are going through right now. My family just went through this on December 19, 2007. I lost my little brother, best friend and security on that day. When times like this come around, it starts to make you appreciate things better and not to take advantage of life. Life is just too short these days, and we should all appreciate what we have in life and to accept things in life, even if we do not like the situation. I don't believe I ever got the honors of knowing Eric, but I am sure he was a fine man. My thoughts and prayers go out to Eric's wife and daughter. In time, you will get through this. God Bless You All. !!!

Angie, we hope you know that we are always here for you and Gwen for anything and everything. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. God will see you through this, just lean on Him. Love, Travis, Ginger, Brandon & Zach Pierce
