I will never forget, and you can never be replaced.

No farewell words were spoken,
No time to say goodbye,
You were gone before we knew it,
And only God knows why.

Until we meet again Eric,
may God Hold you
in the palm of his hand.

Always Your Sister,

In Loving Memory My Brother Eric, you are not forgotten.....

Love Donna

Finally at peace...

October 4, 2010

My beloved brother Eric,
It was five years ago to the day,
That God came and took you away,
It feels like only yesterday,
Seems the pain and sorrow is
Here to stay, Still in disbelief
Even though, I know in my heart
You were supposed to go.
Life goes on for all the others,
But, I will always miss YOU,
My brother.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.

March 16, would have been your 52nd Birthday brother, and I miss you even more than I could have ever imagined. Mom is there in heaven with you, and I miss you both so much.

A BRIDGE CALLED LOVE
It takes us back to brighter years,
to happier sunlit days
and to precious moments
that will be with us always.
And these fond memories
are treasured in the heart,
to bring us always close to those
from whom we had to part.
There is a bridge of memories
from earth to Heaven above...
It keeps our dear ones near us
It's the bridge that we call love.

To My Loving Father whom I dearly miss so much,

Words could not express how much I love you and how much you have loved our family. I wish you could be here to celebrate this up coming 20th Wedding Anniversary, as we have in the past. You would be very proud of Tommy and I for graduating high school with well over enough credits then needed and going further into our careers. We miss you greatly and love you lots. Your in our prayers and with us everywhere we go. I Love You!!

Love your Daughter,

You have left a big void in my life. Your smile, bright eyes and laughter are greatly missed. Saying I Love You does not cover how much I love and miss you. God must have needed an angel, I just wish it had not been you. My only comfort is that someday we will be together again. I know you are watching over me and the kids, they know you are everywhere with them.

Eric,

Your legacy will live on forever. A short time on earth but a lifetime of memories that will stay alive in our hearts. God must have needed an angel. Your wife and children will be in our prayers. So rest now and know you will always be loved.

Eric Eugene Kidd - March 16, 1957

My Precious Son,
I can’t say Happy Birthday Son,
you’re not here to know.
I will always wish in my heart,
It was not your time to go.
It’s been 49 years since I gave birth to you,
I love you my blonde hair, blue eyed baby.
I wanted you then, and I want you now,
and will think of you forever, daily.



God, I know you gave your precious Son
To give us life with You.
But I didn’t want my son to leave,
Cause he was precious too.
We all are precious in your eyes,
And all to you return.
I know my son will not come back,
And I still have much to learn.
Our time on earth is for learning,
And when our lessons are through,
Your spirit chooses the time we leave,
And we come back to you.
My precious son is with you,
And there will be a day,
That I too will leave this earthly place,
And you will light my way.
I know your arms will be open,
And I will have a smile,
To see my God and Precious Son,
I will then become Your child.

To Eric's Family, Mother Betty L. Kidd (Tucson), Brothers - #1 Larry (Florida), #3 Gordon (Tucson), #8 Joseph (Tucson), Sisters - #2 Carol (Tucson), #5 Donna (Flagstaff), #6 Betsy (Tucson), #7 Melissa (Colorado)

Words cannot describe the loss and sorrow our family has suffered.

The pain is unbearable to think “one of us” is gone.
Somehow our family must carry on.
In the past when one of us was hurt, we all pulled together.
We must do this again, with this storm to weather.
To know our Eric, is gone forever,
We will not forget him, not now, not ever.

Eric it was our gift to have you in our Family, we loved and appreciated you from the day you were born, for the loss of our #4 we will forever mourn.

I'm Free

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took His hand when I heard him call;
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way;
I found that place at the close of the day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss;
Ah yes, these things, I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I savored much;
Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch.
Perhaps my time seems all too brief;
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me,
God wanted me now, He set me free.

Eric Kidd's life was taken away from our family too soon. He was doing what he loved to do in supporting his beloved family. We will remember him as a person who loved his family and friends,and who enjoyed life on his own terms. Blessed Be.

Eek was the best friend, and work partner anyone could ever ask for. He was the only one that could get me to leave the house. Eek will be greatly missed, he will forever remain in our hearts and on our minds. We will all drink "one" for him.
