To My Best Friend- I Love You / Eryn Orfield (Best Friend ) Waking up in the middle of the night, just wanting to call you to hear you say, "everything will be alright." I feel like you're with me sometimes just making sure that I'm safe. I still don't understand why and I don't think I ever will- this summer is just not going to be the same, when Christa comes down to visit it's never the same anymore- because you're not here to call us and tell us to come over, to watch a movie in your room while you cook us pizza and soup for yourself, to sit listening to music and talking, to drive around aimlessly blasting Korn. You were everything to me. When I wake up in the morning to check my phone I always expect to see 3 missed calls from you at 2am. But I never see your name anymore, as much as I know you're gone I call your cell phone every now and then thinking that one of these days I'll hear your voice on the other end. Eric WHY! Why did I just let you go that night without getting a great big bear hug where you made it hard for me to breathe because you would hug so tight!!! I know God has a plan for everyone but I still feel guilty inside for not talking to you for just 10 more minutes because inside I feel like that would've helped a lot. Remember after Ray passed away and you and I were having our usual long talks on the phone and you were talking about Ray and then I paused because I remember thinking to myself what I would do if you were to ever leave me. And then I said, Eric... promise me something? and you said what? And I said, Promise me you'll never leave me... and then you said I promise. After we got off the phone that night I looked up at my wall with my cross and my other "religious" stuff and just asked God to not take you from me because I was just thinking about the what if's. You were the one that was there comforting me at Rays funeral- but then you weren't there to tell me it was okay when I was crying at your funeral because it was you that was taken from us the second time around. I was talking to Steph on Monday and I told her I just wish one of these days you would come into my dreams and just take me through that night like it was recorded or something- but thats a hard thing to come by when I'm sure you have a lot more people other then me asking you the same thing :) I look at your prayer book every once in a while and I go to the Prayer for Love and remember back when you read that to me outloud in your room... you didn't see, but you made me cry that day. I miss you in my dreams it always helped a little more when you would come in them but I know you're probably busy with things up there. I hope you can hear me when I talk to you. All those times I told you how much I loved and cared for you as my best friend I hope you knew how much I meant that from the bottom of my heart. Jackie showed me a note Jeremy wrote her about a conversation you and him had one time over the summer- part of my wants to believe it but I just don't in a way because you're not here for me to ask if it's true or not. Some day I hope all my answers will be answered. I'm sorry for hurting you... you say I didn't but in a way I still think I did- I just wish I wasn't so stubborn and scared and that we had more time together. I hope you're my guardian angel looking over me and everyone else who loved you so dear. Hey maybe one of these days you can explain this all to me. I love you Eric Robert Sousa- the bestest friend anyone could EVER ask for. Thank you for EVERYTHING! You helped me through so much. I miss you but will be seeing you one of these days when it's my time to be called up there. I love you. -Shit Dip P.S. Please watch over our dip shit and Kyle when he races this year.

Eric will be missed by all that met him and some that just knew him from the stories we still say about him... We all LOVE YOU ERIC!!!!! You will never be forgotten <3 rj
Not a day goes by that I don' miss you / Jamie Guifarro ("Aunt Jamie" )
I will always remember the last time that I saw you. I can't get that memory out of my head. But it soon fades and the memories of all our time together come back to fill me with laughter and joy instead of tears. A million memories from our missions and just as many laughs. I can never forget .... The Casino, driving to Big Nanny's, our fights over the radio (no I can't just listen to one song!!), knocking on you window at 1 a.m. (over 3 billion served!!), Coffee, trips to the flea market, speaking chineese, going to Brooklyn, hangin' in da hood, 50 Cent Dave, Sams anthem, all those Mexicans at 3am in Walmart...and the white van! All the buffets we have loved and depleted, Popyees Chicken, those hot dogs in New Haven, Cheesecake, Mikey and his attempt at speaking spanish, DEEEEER, Our Song, the bathroom "spa" treatment, the night of my christmas party (2005)....pathetic wan't it, Shopping for clothes, the vest (not gay!!) and all of the times that you were just there for me and Brandon.
Im sorry I didnt hug you harder the last time I saw you. Im sorry that I didnt tell you how much I loved you. Im sorry that I didnt realize how important every moment of my time with you was...until now that you are gone.
The good thing is that looking at Brandon, I see you and all that you have added to his life and vocabulary! I know that he is who he is because of help from you. He has your caring and helpful nature, your manerisums and your love for the ladies!! He misses you so much.
So going forward, I'll try not to be so sad when I think of you because I know that you will always be in my heart and watching over us. You will live forever in my heart and in all of the memories that we shared. Watchover him - He misses you so much and I'll keep thinking of you everyday with love and laughter instead of pain and tears or at least try to.
I MISS U SO MUCH & THANK YOU ALWAYS FOR BEING THERE.
our special boy / Nanny Pat Rankin (grandmother) eric as time passes we realise just how special you were,you where the glue that heldour family together you always had a way of making a things better. i miss shopping and dinners yiu running into shop ready to say somthing funny. you always werte a wonderful grandson and person we shall always love you our special boy

Missing You / Teresa Maynard (Friend) Eric do you remember the first time we met...it was like dec. at the bowling alley and i wus with mike b. and you came up to me and was like are going out with that kid? and i said no, but we're like kinda together and you said if you don't start going out with him today im going to take you from him. I totally thought you were joking until i saw you in my drivers ed class and you asked for my number, and you called me that night, and every single night after. And when we started going out...we were at the movies and you said...so...when u gonna start goin out with me? my response- when you gonna ask me out and said in about ten minutes when the movie is over...and thats when we started to go out and then we had out first kiss. And i remember one of the best times i ever had with you was when i went to your house and we just layed in your bed and talked. You were my first kiss in 2006 and my last in 2005 i will never forget the good times we had. You were always there for me and I tried to do the same for you, I remember all the times i went over to house bc you needed to talk and brandon and my dad would get mad at me but i just didnt care. and everytime i saw you after we broke up you ALWAYS asked me...so when you going back out with me? the truth is...i always wondered the same thing, i would have thoughts if we were ever going to get back together and i was hoping we would...but now i know we cant and i regret never telling you that. the last time i saw you at the bowling alley i was standing there staring into your amazing blue eyes thinking how much i wanted to tell you i love you...and i never did...and now you're gone so this is the best i can do...i can tell you now. you always knew how to make me laugh, no matter what my attitude was, and you were always there for me to talk to, whenever i needed you and you always cared...about everyone, and everything. you have the biggest heart, and always gave people their second chances bc you knew people mess up sometimes. We had so many good times together and I wish we could have more, but i know you are looking down on me, and everyone else, keeping us out of trouble. Thank you Eric, I love you SO much you are one the greatest things that has ever happened to me and I will always be missing you.
I Love You & I Miss You / Eryn Orfield (Friend) "I think of you often and make no outward show, But what it means to lose you, no one will ever know You wished no one farewell, not even said good-bye, You were gone before I knew it, and only God knows why. You are not forgotten nor will you ever be, As long as life and memories last, I will remember thee. To some you may be forgotten, to others a part of the past, But to me who loved you dearly, your memories will always last. Nothing can be more beautiful than the memories I have of you. To me, you were someone special, God must have thought so too! If tears could build a staircase and memories a lane, I would walk all the way to Heaven, and bring you back again. "
*You're always on my mind Eric- I can't believe tom. will be four months some days it seems so long others it seems so short. I miss you so much and I hope you're doing good wherever you are. I keep having dreams about you and Ozzfest- I'm def. going next year just for you- I know you'll like that. You're the bestest friend anyone could ever ask for. Thank you for everything. I love you with all my heart Sousa!!!! Love Always, -Shit Dip hahah
missing you is killing me!! / Roberta Cerruti (girlfriend/ friend )
Eric i miss you so much!!! i look at our pictures from when you dressed up for me...so i could go to prom with tasha... i didnt know how much you really loved me until you actualy got dressed up for me. member i had such a hard time with those damn heels. you told me.
"you look beautiful.. but how stupid to ware heels." you were the first person to show up at shannons house. shannon wasnt even there yet!!! eric i remember the night you asked me out we had been tip toeing arund it for almost a month when you finaly did. you asked yo come over at like 11 and you had your friend with you thats when i had met john. you kissed me that night too remember.
i also remember the only reason why we started talking again after not talking for almost 5 months. i had called you cuz my birthday was comming up and i wanted to invite you. i must have picked up the phone a hundred times that night before i actualy dialed it. you called me every night after that.
eric i dont think you have eny idea how much you impacted my life. ywhen ever i would be upset you would listen when ever i wasnt thinking you could make everything clear to me you told me the truth wether i liked it or not. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH... nad i cant say it enough.
i remeber all the good times like they were just yesterday but then there are the bad times that i remember best.. i remember every mean wird you said to me and every single lil word i had t say back nad i regret saying them in the heat of a moment but i cant take them back. ERIC....we spent two months hating on eachother and not being able to have a conversation without geting angery.. the things i went threw with you i dont regret not one lil bit no matter hopw mad we were at eachother we still managed to get all that back.
i remember about two weeks maybe less than that after we had our last fight somthing about ....well it doesnt matter and of course it was at 2 am and you were like hey are you sleeping i obviously said no. you said that you were sorry for everything that was going on nad because you wanted to be in the navy you wanted to be able to hang out with everyone.. you told me how much you missed my laugh and how good it was to hear my voice.
the fallowing week i left for NH.. i called you up right wen i got there and we were talking every night till i got back you were calling me a few times the day i came back oyu were the first person to come and see me and we were hanging out evernight till that weekend..... GOD THAT WEEKEND I REMEMBER IT SO WELL!!!!
we had so much fun that night you were at my house till 7 am just fucken around with people... we were messing with shane cuz he fell asleep remember... and the when oyu went up the stairs and said look at the little birdy up there caw-caw.. my mother came down around 5 and was like you guys are still up nad you yelled at her HI MOM...she said hi hunny and went back up the stairs you yelled at her agian I SEE HOW IT IS DONT KISS THE FAT KID GOOD NIGHT. she turned around came down the stairs and kissed you on the forehead goodnight.
eric you used to call me all the time you would sing to me and play guitar for me. i couldnt get enough of listening to your voice. i would fall asleep... but you would wake me up.. love is when you could listen to him talk for hours and never get tired of hearing his voice. When the sound of his name sends chills down your spine. And you see his face the second you close your eyes.
I lost a love on the night of august 13th its tearing me up knowingi will not talk to him eny more.
eric helped me thrrew everything he changed my life in so manny ways i told myself i didnt love him... i remember eric telling me i didnt know what love was that love wasnt even real.. i said to him then why did you tell me you loved me he said to me cuz i could be with you for the rest of my life!!... the day i remember most is when you called me the love of your life. and it ended a week or so later you told me that it wasnt me and that uoi loveed me and wished you could be with me but you didnt want me around things you were getting yourself into.
eric when ever i had a bad day or i was upset you would say ok ill come get you or you would tell me once you mad it big that you would come and take me away from here!
i love you eric for all your kind words and all the things you brought into my life.. its so hard being here without you but im trying to manage it withut you and its really hard. i love you and miss you so much. i hope you are at peace where you are. i hope you are ok and i cant wait for the day to see you again but i know that i have to and im willing to wait.

I am so sorry / Misty R. (None) I was on here researching this site because I lost my Uncle Richard on October 13, 2006. I also lost my daughter's father on December 7, 2005. The pain is unbearable and still we continue to live and adjust to life without them, however difficult that may be. It is the surviving that bond together and become the strength for the grieving. Accept their love and support. Our loved ones have passed on to another place but they are still with our hearts. Their spirit and goodness will never leave and can't be taken from our memories. Every decision he made, every kind word spoken, every gentle touch given, was done to touch another life. We come into this life with a purpose. Sometime during this life, while he was here with you and your loved ones, he made a difference for many others. He made a difference in lives of others that you may not have even known about. He may have inspired a friend to be a better person or done something in order for another to learn from him. I whole heartedly believe that we are all here to help eachother. I don't know what or when, but I just feel that he did. My heart goes out to you and your family. I will pray that your heart will mend. You are right. We will never be the same again, but they would not want us to be unhappy for too long. I hope that one day you will be able to celebrate the wonderful life he did have and the joy I am sure he brought to so many people while he was with you.
With Much Love from a Stranger, Misty

I FEEL YOUR PAIN! / Kimberley Celi (passing by ) I am so sorry for the lost of your prescious Eric. I know how you all feel. I lost my brother 2yrs ago in august. Nothing will ever be the same. You must stay strong and live day by day... i know its easier said then done. i will pray for all of you god bless. vist my brothers site Christian Celi just type it in the search for memorial.....
I feel your family's pain / Wilnelia Reynolds (No Relation ) I did not know Eric but I can understand how much you loved him. I myself just lost my younger brother (Rubiel Mercado) on Oct. 6, 2006 to a car accident. We live in NJ and he was in his freshman year of college in Alabama so he too died without the people who love him most. Just like you I think about him every second of everyday and do not know how to continue life with out my sweet boy. I will keep Eric and your entire family in my prayers. God Bless.
Tributes and Condolences
I LOVE YOU FOREVER
