Mom / E.
This Valentine is not of the ordinary kind,
Its still filled with love...and blessings inside;
But mine has to be sent on the wings of love...
You see its destination is the Heavens above.

Its not being sent to my parents so dear,
For they are still with me each day of the year;
Its being sent to my child...who left earth so soon,
Who's now in the Heavens with the stars and the moon.

The message is the same as your valentine,
"I love you...my sweet precious child of mine;
My love is still deeper than the ocean is blue,
And its sent with hugs and kisses...from me to you."

"I know you are with me each and every day,
You listen as I talk to you...and hear what I say;
For that is one thing that disease cannot do...
...you'll always be apart of me...and me a part of you."

"I know God did not give you the awful disease,
Thank Him for His comfort He gives me...would you please?
I dont know what I would do without His undying love...
Sent to bereaved parents from the Heavens above."

"I know you are in the best of care,
But it's so hard for us left on earth to bear;
Could you put in a request from us left behind...
For God to send the knowledge..so a cure we can find."

"So that no other family has to go through this pain,
Our lives without you will never be the same;
When I get lonely I will look to the sky at night...
And see you shining down your big bright light."

"Happy Valentines day sunshine...I miss you so much,
I know you know how many lives you have touched;
You'll always be mine...I love you with all my heart,
I know we be together again...and then we'll never part."

So you see the meaning is still the same...
The method of delivery is the only change;
Mine must be sent by a little white dove...
On the wings of Love.

~A Big Change~  / Marcy (SIS)
Hey Eric~

I wish you were here right now to tell me everything will be OK! I know you will guide me along with the decision I am making about leaving my job.
I learned alot from your passing.
I learned that life is way to short (you never know when it's going to be your time) to be unhappy and miserable.
I think back when you quit Casey's~You were OK! Things like that always seem to work out. You just have to take things day by day.
I have a caring guardian angel now too that will guide me through.
This is a good decision also because of my schooling. I can now go to school in August like I had planned. 
I will never make what here what I can make working as an accountant. So you know what they say. Things happen for a reason. This is one of those things that is happening for a reason.
I will not be hurt in the end. My boss said think about what you have here. Ya know what, big deal. Working with a needy, selfish, backstabbing person like Lindsey is not worth it. I know she will never leave because she needs this job. As for me, I don't. I have a husband that can support me until I find something else. I already have a job lined out that I really want. I think I have a good chance of getting it too.
Eric~I want to thank you for everything you have taught me. Too bad it had to be the way it did for me to learn.
I know you'll take care of me and guide me thru.

Love you Eric~

Until forever~

Because Eric is your angel  / For Marcy
ANGELS

When angels sense you need them,

and angels always do,

They come, unseen, from everywhere

to help and comfort you...

They hover close beside you

till all your cares are gone--

Then fly away to other hearts

so you can carry on...

But one, at least, stays with you as your

constant friend and guide,

For guardian angels never leave--

they are always at your side

Happy New Year, Eric!  
  Another friend of yours has come to join you. I don't know why this is happening, only God knows. You didn't ever like to be alone, and you surely aren't. Every year another of your friends comes to keep you company. I used to wonder if you guys would all get together when you got older. I never thought it would be like this. You were all so free and fearless. Donnelle, JaJa, Darren, Eric, Jim Bob. Who would ever have thought you would all leave us so soon? So much fun and laughter you guys all brought to us. Now there are only memories and tears. It makes me scared for the few of your group who are left. 
  Eric, you will always be loved and remembered. In your short life, you created many memories. You were definitly a unique personality. I thank God every day for the gift of you.
           RIP  Eric, Darren, Ja, Donnelle and Jim Bob
                    Behave yourselves!
                     Love Always,
                         Mom Close

Day After Christmas!  / Marcy (sis)
Eric-
Well we survived another Christmas without you. It was hard. We also knew that you were there with us. I hope you and the "boys" had a great time yesterday. Bet it makes you guys feel good to know so many people are thinking of you and missing you.
Tomorrow is Dave and my 1 year anniversary. I can't beleive it's been a year already. We will be leaving for Las Vegas again on 29th. We are flying out of Denver this time. Keep us safe, be the "angel on my shoulder!"
I am at a loss of words again.
I just wanted you to know that you will never be forgotten and we will always celebrate the memories we have of you!

                                                        Missing you always,
                                                                  Marcy

"MERRY CHRISTMAS"  / Johnette Moninger (Friend)

A brief moment of darkness
was all that I knew,
before Heaven's Gate
came into my view.
Loved ones and friends
I had missed for many years,
welcomed me with open arms
and many happy tears.
All the hurt, fear, and pain
that I have ever known,
is gone from my life,
I am finally home.
I gazed upon the Lord's
sweet smiling face,
and for the first time in my life
I knew and felt His grace.
I know that you miss me,
but please dry your eyes.
I will always be watching and loving you
from my new home in the sky.
A cool breeze on your face,
a touch of light rain,
I will send as a reminder
that we will be united again.
Life on earth is but one
brief moment in time,
I am finally home,
Eternity is mine.




Wishing you and yours
a very
"MERRY CHRISTMAS"

Love,
Johnette

Merry Christmas  / Tracy (sister)
Merry Christmas Eric! Dad and I went to the memorial yesterday. Still seems weird when I'm home not to go to your house and do our thing. Mom left us all pennies on our stockings. I miss seeing yours hang up there. Mo and I watched the video of you graduating from boot camp yesterday. I know the feeling you had inside at that moment. It was hard to hear your laugh and see your smile. You were so alive. I have a hard time finding words for my feelings today... sadness yet I'm happy for you because you're with Darren and JaJa, Grandpa and Donnell. Know you guys are up there celebrating in Heaven. Tyler takes after you so much the way he gets excited and anxious. He was pacing yesterday!! Sound familiar? HaHa! As you're watching down today know that you are missed, loved, and remembered in so many minds and hearts. Mine especially. So many memories come to my mind today, some we can't talk about here and now! It's all good though! I saw Toby and his family at Penneys yesterday. It's good to see him doing well, being a Dad. It's also sad for me to know that all we have is memories of our times with you. I treasure those memories more than I can tell you.
                                                           Until forever,

                                                                     Tracy Close

Bless you Marcy - you are a joy  / Lesley Mom Of Mark Schroeder

Marcy, you have been such a comfort to me. I thank you for all the candles on my Markie's site www.mark-schroeder.memory-of.com these past 18 months. Its the love from strangers who understand grief that keeps us all going because we are no longer strangers - even though we have never met - we are walking the same long road to sanity and wholeness and I bless you for caring. I bless your beautiful Eric for the impact he made on our world.
I found a beautiful essay that Mark wrote. I put it on his legacy section. Please ask your mom to read it - it might give her some insight. I know it helped me.

Much love across the oceans from Africa

Lesley

a poem from eric  / Tammi (my buddy miss u )

When tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes, all filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry, the way you did today,
while thinking of the many things we didn't get to say.

I know how much you love me, as much as I love you, and each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too; But when tomorrow starts without me, please try and understand,
that an angel came and called my name, and took me by the hand,
and said my place was ready, in heaven far above, and that I'd have to leave behind, all those I dealry love.

But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye, for all my life I'd always thought,
I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for, so much yet to do, it seemed almost impossible,
that I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared, and all the fun we had.

If I could relive yesterday, just even for a while, I'd say goodbye and kiss you,
and maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized, that this could never be, for emptiness and memories, would take the place of me.

And when I thought of all the things, I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven's gates, I felt so much at home. When God looked down
and smiled at me, from his great big throne, He said;

"This is eternity, and all I've promised you,
Today for life on earth is past, but here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last, and since each day's the same,
there's no longing for the past.

But you have been so faithful, so trusting and so true.
Though there were times you did some things, you knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven, and now at last your free, so won't you take my hand,
and share my life with me"?

So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart,
for every time you think of me,
I'm right here in your heart.


Tributes and Condolences
