i am so sorry to have heard of this terrible tragedy.. my heart and prayers go out to the whole family.
I never understand when a young, vibrant life is lost, and especially the loss of a child who is so dear. I will always remember the times I got to see Eric when he visited his grandparents Gene and Nancy in California. In my memory I still have the image of that sweet little boy, who was always playing, entertaining, talking, laughing and smiling…. Dear Rebecca and Matt, I trust you find the needed strength, peace and comfort, my prayers are with you all!…. I am sure Eric and Leona are together now, watching you from heaven.
I am so sorry for your loss. I will keep the family and friends in my prayers.
He was so special to me. He was a amazing. Friend, boyfriend, best friend and all of the above. He would lift me up when I’m down and he would give me good advice when I need it as well. He was the ball of light you wanted to be around when you were having a bad day. I love you and I will continue to miss very dearly. To the family, I am sorry for your lost and I will have you in my prayers and also the friends as well.
