Resting peacefully

Eric's struggle ended this afternoon at 4:15. He passed on peacefully
and both Nikki and I were able to be by his side as he began his new
journey. Services are pending.

  17. GOOD BYE ERIC

    Eric, you were so strong and brave
    A precious boy were you.
    I’ve learned to love you oh so much

    My heart is breaking too.

    Every day on daddy’s blog

    I felt his loving care

    When early in the morning

    His write up would be there.

    I do not know the reason why

    Things happen as they do

    But I will tell you Eric dear

    My love has grown for you.

    But your first breath in heaven

    You soon will realize

    Health beyond compare

    And sight to your blind eyes.

    So when I look at stars tonight

    The brightest one we'll see

    And know you have your porch light on

    For your FAMILY……..

    It has been a long journey, following Eric's progress every morning. I was shocked, as were many others, to receive that final post. Know that more people care about you and Loved Eric, than you can even fathom. May you find peace in this tragedy.
