Hi my name is heather foster and i am 16 years old...i lost my best friend and brother Joseph Evans this year but he was killed by the police...i mean i feel your pain because i have never loved anybody more...so i mean i am very sorry to hear that about your son but if you would please visit my brothers website that i made for him if you ever get a chance......my concerns and love to you family...heather.
Your in my prayers / Steve P. (Uncle to Angel Jacob ) I never met Eric, but I would like to say that his family and friends are in my thoughts and prayers. I lost my beloved nephew Jacob in a car accident at the age of 16 on 09/10/04. I live with the pain every day. I hope all that knew Eric will somehow find the strength to deal with his passing. I've been told many times that "time heals all wounds", but I can honestly say that no amount of time will ever heal mine. The tragic loss of someone so young, with his whole life ahead of him isn't easy to take. We ask God "why" but never realy get an answer, we just hope that He has a bigger and better plan.
To Eric's family and friends...may God be with you all and help you to find a way to cope. I'm sure Eric and Jake are up in Heaven watching over us all.
Rest in Peace Eric...and God bless you.
Lost & Loved / Burmester Family (none) I know your pain we lost our Kirsty to in a car acc but we were lucky we had fours days but like you it hurts so much.

Love Kirsty Angel's Mum Carol oxoxox^i^

Hello, My name is Pamela Barlow I to have just lost my son Brandon Anthony Scheurich. He was 19 years old he graduated on May 19th,2006 and was killed by somebody drinking and driving on May 21st ,2006. I too can honestly say i fill your pain. The last time I seen my son was the day after graduation he graduated on a Friday and stayed home on Saturday ask me if he could get up and go golfing on Sunday and left that moring. The last i talked to him he called me about 5:45 that day and ask me what i cooked for supper i told him and he said he would be home in 20 minutes but he never made it. He was setting in the back of a truck and the person that he chose to ride home with had more to drink than he should and ran off the road going 80 miles per hour and the truck rolled my son was the only one that had his seatbelt on and the only one that didnt make it the passenger and the friver made it. I as well didnt get to say goodbye and couldnt be there in his last moments. He had so much to live for ge was going to college this year and was going to play basketball.
Not a day goes by i dont think or shed a tear for him all i have left i a lot of memories and a retired baskeball Jersey #34 hanging in my den what a waste the guy drinving this was his 3rd DUI and up for First Degree Manslaughter charges. But just wanted to tell you that you are not alone and i under stand the loss of your precious son and hope like myself that someday we understand this i cant at this point undrstand why god had to take my Brandon there is no logical exclamation that i can deal with at this point but hope in the futre too!! MY son is on this site to his name is Brandon Scheurich i intvite you to look at he memorial and i will pray for all of us..
GOD BLESS -PAMELA BARLOW
I feel your pain and i'm so so sorry.... / Mandy (Mother who also lost her son. ) I just had to write and tell you how sorry i am for your loss. I lost my son Erik at age 16, Feb 16th 2005. I read on your site about how it will haunt you forever that you were not there for him when he needed you most. I know exactly how you feel. Erik lie in a car that his "friend" was driving and he was dying, and i was not there for him. His friend walked away. Erik was airlifted to the hospital and died right when he arrived. I never got to say goodbye. He was my only child. There are days i think i will be ok, and days i don't know how i will get through life without him. I just want to let you know you are not alone. If you ever want to talk i have left my email address. My sons site is under Erik Anderson. God bless you and your family.

Missing you. / Nichole Gretta (Very good friend ) Eric You not being here in person is the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with, and we both know I've had to deal with some pritty hard things. But, I know your some where that your needed more and needed to do better things. I always used to tell you to never leave me but no one could ever tell you to do something. If it haddent been for you I would not be the person I am today and I thank you so much for being someone that had the biggest impact on my life. Without you life is hard but I know your still watching me and guiding me. I love you now and will forever. ~ Your girl Nikkie
God Bless You! / Sandra Dunn (None) My brother Danny was murdered a year ago November 4, 2005. In reading your son's Legacy, etc. your words of loss and the feelings of losing a child could be no more perfect. I was in Missouri when my brother was killed, him in Florida. Both my brothers were gunned down for no reason at all. I wish I could have been there to hold his hand. The thoughts I had of him laying there. But I will tell you that there was a hand there that day - the Lord's hand. Your son knows you would have been there if you could and its told that once a person dies and the Lord takes their hand, all they see is his greatness. Your son knew your love for him. May God Bless! Sandi Dunn
Chester, CT / Eryn Orfield My Dearest Eric, I miss you so much, it seems that over time it gets harder- not better. Now that the weather is starting to darken and get colder and the holidays are near it sucks. I wish you were here with us making more memories. I went to Cockaponsett last night and I thought of you- I haven't been there since I was with you. All I could think about was you singing to Christa and I. That was a fun night- I miss those times...A lot. I love you Sousa forever and for always. I'll see you around one of these days. I miss you- you'll never be forgotten...EVER. Love, Eryn
Essex, CT / Kala Lewis Eric was more then a friend to me, he was like my brother. He supported me and helped me in everything I did and wanted to do. Eric and I had a special bond that no one really understood and that I didnt understand until the day he past away. Eric i love u i told u this everyday and no one can take your place .. ill see you there
Ivoryton,CT/ Kate O'Connor Eric, Sometimes I find myself just not knowing what to do or say. You were always there for me, always there to help and support me, or just to have a good time. You always knew exaclty what to say, even if it wasnt what I wanted to hear. We spent so many nights on the phone for endless hours just talking, I would do anything to hear your voice just one more time. You were more then a friend, you were a brother to me Eric. I cant thank you enough for everything that you have done for me, I only wish I had one more chance to say it to you in person. I know you are watching over us, and smiling. Please keep us strong, we miss you dearly, and sometimes I find it hard to just get through the day without you. But, you will forever be in our hearts, as my best friend, my brother, you will never be forgotten, I love you and I miss you. God Bless your soul..
Love Always, Kate
