I just lit a memory candle for you. I have wanted to do so for awhile, but have been trying to find the right words to say. I guess there really are no "right" words. I visit the webpage often. Your family has done the most wonderful job creating this wonderful wesite in honor of you. Your laugh and jokes, your sarcasm and humor, your honesty and truthfulness, and your support and advice is greatly missed.
2 years without you / Mom
I never imagined living without you. Even when your friends died I never thought you would die. I worried about you because you were so sad and I prayed you would somehow get through the pain. We are a little closer to finding an answer to what happened that awful night. But it's a slow pocess and we may never have an answer. My only comfort is knowing you are at peace now. Hangin with your bros, where you wanted to be. It's so depressing with all the young people dying. So much pain in this world. So many tears. What is God telling us? I wonder so much about you. I know you are here with us, but it's so hard not to call you or stop by your house. I remember how you loved to have people drop by. You were always happy to see them.My heart aches knowing I won't walk through your door and hear "What's up, Mamma?" Little things. Knowing when I feel blue I could stop by and you would make me laugh. I sure could use that now. June is coming again. It's so hard to get through June. You would be 26 this year. We would have planned a supper and baked a cake, and you would aggravate Tyler like always. But you could toss a football with him now cause he's pretty good. He reminds me so much of you.You and Marcy & Dave would probably have gone to have a few drinks and whatever drama there was to go through. Always drama. Like you always said "too much drama."The drama is pretty much gone now. Life goes on..one day at a time. I will always have a part of you with me, and that part of you will somehow make me smile. Even when my heart hurts so much, I see the silliness of you, and I have to laugh. Thank you for leaving that for me. I love you, Eric. Please watch over all of us. You are always with me. Love, Mamma Close

Rocking With Me Author Unknown
There was once an elderly, despondent woman in a nursing home. She wouldn't speak to anyone or request anything. She merely existed - rocking in her creaky old rocking chair.
The old woman didn't have many visitors. But every couple mornings, a concerned and wise young nurse would go into her room. She didn't try to speak or ask questions of the old lady. She simply pulled up another rocking chair beside the old woman and rocked with her.
Weeks or months later, the old woman finally spoke.
'Thank you,' she said. 'Thank you for rocking with me.'"

Marcy - Just wanted to tell you that I think you have done a wonderful job on Eric's web site. This is all really amazing how you have put all these nice pics and stuff together of your family and everyone that meant a lot to Eric. I will never forget the fun times that you, me and Tracy had staying at your parents house raising all kinds of hell. LOL Boy, how did your parents deal with all of us there at the same time?? Anyway - just wanted to say that Eric was such a sweet heart and he is one that will never be forgotten. That crazy little shit!!

Eric, Just sitting here thinking about everything. The past, the present and the future. It's complicated. There is always something going on. Sometimes I wonder how can I live 50 more years without you. An eternity of sadness. Things should not have to be this way. They are though, and that's why I feel so blue alot. Lately, I have just stayed numb to deal with the heartache and pain. Well here I am again in tears. Numb is the only way I can do it. To think of what life was like with you here and now having to think what my life is like now; I would rather be with you. Sometimes Eric, I just feel like I can't do this anymore. Put someone in my shoes for a year with you and then take it all away. Now think of having that for most of your life and taking it away. That person would be crazy. That's how I feel, crazy. Sometimes it's like I just can't control myself. Now I know how you feel and why you did the things you did. I know the hurt you felt. That Eric is what gives me peace. Knowing that you are happy and comfortable now. Now though it's me hurting. You and Darren were best friends. He was like the brother you never had. But I am the sister you always had and it hurts so badly. No matter where I am. Who I am with and what I am doing, you are still on my mind. There is just a part of me that will always be unhappy and lost. That part of me you have. I can smile, I can laugh, and I can act happy. Inside though, I am dying. I know poor Marcy huh? This is really how it is though. Not a day goes by that I don't say "Eric" or "my brother." I will keep you alive forever Eric. As long as I have to be here you have to stay close. I hope Eric you have finally found peace in your life. I know the minute you saw Darren, both of your faces lit up and your eyes got huge. Be at peace baby bro.
I do not have a problem with you being on here, but if you'r going to leave snotty messages I will delete everyone of them. I have never erased your messages. I looked through the messages and there are a few from you. I get an e-mail when someone does something on Eric's site. You have not left that many candles. I can assure you that any candle you lit for Eric is on here. This sire is for Eric and for his "loved" ones to remember him by. I would not erase a message or candle that you left. You know better than that when it comes to anythings for Eric. You know how close we were and how much we loved eachother. Do not leave another message like that or I will make it so you are blocked from here.
Im missing you Eric / Michelle Davis (missing you more eveyday )
Hello Eric, Today I talked to your sister marcy through email. It took her a minute to remember me, but she did. She thanked me for visiting your site here. I want to let you know that from now on I will be at all memorials for you to remember you and the times we all had. My son is going to be 3 in april. everytime he acts up i tell him if eric and darren were here that you guys wouldn't let him treat me like that and Vaiden just smiles. I wish Darren could have met him like you did. I find myself looking at your pictures alot on here. I always start crying. I know you would tell me to suck it up but i cant. It really hurts to wake up eveyday and miss you. But i know you can see what i feel on here. Just like your sister marcy says i feel close to you when im here. you are very lucky eric to have family and friends like you do. The only thing that helps me be settle with this is that i know you and darren are together at last and making sure that me and all your family are okay. I am working on a poem for you. When i get it done i will post it for you to read okay. I love you eric. Always and forever michelle PS i hope you like the song that i asked your mom to put on here for you.

Hi Eric, I see Marcy's got your site all fixed up again. She's still lookin out for ya, just like she always did.I know you're watching over her too. True love doesn't die, does it? Sorry I haven't been on here for awhile. It's just so hard sometimes. But I know it's something I have to face, so I'm back again for a good cry. God this hurts! I think of so many things I loved about you, and I know I'll not ever be able to have those times with you again.Thank you so much for the memories. Even if right now they are ripping me to pieces. The candle light ceremony was very nice for Mikki and Darren. Three years already since they left us. What hurt that was for you. My consolation is that you won't hurt anymore. Now you and your boys are together. Steve has a hard time. He and Marcy are close and help each other, as only they can.Toby looks good and has a very sweet baby girl. He makes me proud. He seems like such a good Daddy. I'm sure you're proud of him too. Jack's baby due any day now. Michelle Davis asked me to put this song " One sweet day" on your site. Hearing it again made me so remember you and Darren that I thought it would be good to have as background. I'm not sure I remember who Michelle is, but Thanks, Michelle, if you read this. Dad's birthday was Friday and we went to Oklahoma. It was fun! Good to get away for a couple days. But driving always reminds me of you. I always watch the ditches. What am I looking for? Am I still trying to find you? I don't know, but Dad does it too. I guess you'll just always be with us... good and bad memories. Momo's birthday is coming again soon. I know it's always hard for her not to have you here with her. You always remembered her birthday. She still has the things you bought her. So very special..even more so now. Well, I feel better now. I think I just needed to talk to you. Funny how that always worked. You always had a way of making people feel better, even when you yourself were hurting. God bless you for your kindness. I know He is rewarding you now. Stay close and always know you are forever loved, my son. Not one day will ever go by that I don't thank God for the gift of you. Love , Mamma Close
