Merry christmas Ann / JustMe
Last night while i was trying to sleep, My sons voice i did hear I opened my eyes and looked around But he did not appear He said,"Mom you've got to listen, You've got to understand God didn't take me from you ,mom, He only took my hand. When i called out in pain that day, The moment that i died, He reached down and took my hand, And pulled me to his side. He pulled me up and saved me, From the misery and pain. My body was hurt so badly, I could never be the same. My search is really over now, I've found happiness within, All the answers to my empty dreams, And all that might have been. I love you all and i miss you so, And I'll always be nearby. My body's might be gone, But my spirit will never die. And so, you must all go on now, And live, and understand.......... God didn't take me from you , He only took my hand. Close

im sorry / Connie (aunt 2 sammy pepe )
to the Reeves family and friends my heartfelt condolences at the loss of this beautiful young man. I passed by this website as my nephew also has a website dedicated to him. He passed away on June 21, 2003 at the age of 19. I understand the pain of the family as I am his aunt and I have been grieving over his loss for over 3 years. His cousins are also still very heartbroken over the loss of their cousin. Although the circumstances behind my nephews death is different than Eric's the loss of any child is always unbearable regardless of how they died.
My heart goes out to his sisters, mom, family and friends.

Sometimes it's hard for me. / Tracy (sister)
Hi Eric, Sometimes it's hard for me to look at this site. I feel bad that I lost so much time with you. I know we had our differences because of my problems and that you didn't always agree with what I was doing. I know, also, that you wanted what is best for me and got mad when I sold myself short. It hurts to know that you'll never be here on Earth to see me be the sister and the woman you knew I could be. I'll always remember the night I came from Newton to visit you and you hugged me and said you were proud of me and told me you love me. I think God gave us that moment in time because he knew what would happen to you down the road. I'm tryin' really hard to do the right thing now. It's not the same as it used to be for me and your death taught me a lot about life, love, and the fact that I can never have back the time I wasted. Help me to stay strong and on the right track. You know it's hard to keep on keepin' on sometimes. I love you and miss you. Wish you were here. Lovin' ya,
I read Marcy's words and I know her hurt. I hate to see her hurt this way when I can't do anything to help her. This has been a very hard day for the whole family. None of us could feel anything last year. The hurt was too fresh, and like Marcy said, we were numb. But this year we missed you so badly, Eric.One great thing is that Tracy got to be home with us for Thanksgiving. Marcy read a beautiful prayer, and we all went to the cemetary and lit a candle for you. You taught us all so much about love with your simple, caring ways. And those memories are with us forever. But I'm afraid this ache will be with us forever too. We have to go on, beacause there is not anything else we can do. I just hope you can feel our love for you. I know God has you & Darren and JaJa in His care and there is no better place to be. Please give my dad & grandma a big kiss for me and then take one for yourself. Just know that as long as we live, you will be alive in our hearts. HAPPY THANKSGIVING ! Love, Mom
Dear Father who art in Heaven... Please join our family on this Thanksgiving Day and bless each one as we sit down to pray as we remember those who have joined you above so dearly missed and deeply loved.

As we light this candle on this Thanksgiving Day... And it glows in memory of those in Heaven today.... May their lights always shine down on us and give us light... And may we feel their presence along with yours tonight.
May the peace and tranquility of this Thanksgiving Day Be an everlasting light within each of us along the way... Lets bow our heads and give our Thanks to God above. For our blessings, whether on earth or in Heaven above... Amen
Thank you for all that you do for our Angel. Thank you for all that you do for our family to help comfort us in our times of grief. Wishing your family a peaceful Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving Eric! / MO (sis)
Eric~ Thinking of you and knowing that you will not be here this Thanksgiving seems to be really hard for me to understand right now. I think maybe last year I was still too numb to even realize what was really going on. Now it has hit me. Saturday night I think was the first time I really realized you are gone. I cried myself to sleep Saturday night around 8pm and woke up still crying Sunday around 11am. It just hurts so bad and there is nothing that can take that hurt away. For most things, I know everything will work out one way or another, but with this, there is no working it out. There is just nothing I can do to make the hurt go away. I tell myself that you are happy where you are at, and that you are with Darren, (which is where you wanted to be from the day he passed away), and that makes me happy, but the selfish part of me wants you back so I don't have to feel this way anymore. I think its so hard right now because of the holidays. We went to a Christmas parade Saturday, maybe thats what set me off feeling this way. Everyone looks so happy, families together and the whole bit, then there's our family. We try to be happy but inside I know none of us will ever really be "happy" again. How could you be after something like this happening to your family. I am really looking forward to seeing Stevie over the holidays. He always makes me feel better. He knows how I feel, and so we can talk and he really understands. I know it's really hard for him and his family too. I think thats why I lean on him so much. Today being Darrens birthday don't help either. He would be 27 today. (HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARREN) Wow, I am sounding really negative. Hopefully I will get over this soon. On a more positive side, Dave took me to Salina yesterday and bought me a pair of 1ct. diamond earrings. They are beautiful. It's my Christmas and anniversary present. Then of course we are headed back to Vegas for our anniversary also. I just needed to let this out. I didn't want to keep it all boggled up inside. Sometimes I just feel as if I need to explode. Eric~until we meet again, I love you baby brother and miss you more than words can say. I hope you are happy where you are at!

GOOD GRIEF / VERONICA ANGEL MOM TO ZACHARY VANWINKLE
Good Grief By Joseph R. Veneroso
Between wordless sobs the soul cries out, Grant them eternal rest, O Lord. And prays despites a haunting doubt, Let perpetual light shine on them.
Yet for us, the living, who remain to mourn the loss, To feel the pain, to bear the shock, to question why in God’s great plan they had to die, there is no peace, No rest , no light nothing but an endless night.
When we, defeated by the truth, surrender to death’s Other face, robbed of innocence and youth, No power on earth can e’er replace, Only in this, our darkest hour, can we truly hope to find Among our tears God’s healing power, among our fears True peace of mind, the simple faith to save our soul, That perfect love to make us whole.
Against the sadness and the sorrow with every ounce of faith Confessing hope for a better life tomorrow in our mourning We find blessing.

You're still here ......November 2006 / Mom
It has been almost a year and a half since our dear Eric left us. But in so many ways, he will always be here. A song, a movie or seeing someone who reminds us of him. Pennies left for us to find. Eric always flipped pennies, was quite a pro really. So I always think of him when I find a penny.But it's really more than that because often after I find a penny, something else will happen and I'll know it is Eric. I found one as I came to workTuesday. Then I went to talk to a co-worker and she had on the radio. As I sat down "mamma, I'm comin' home" came on. We played that song at Eric's funeral. Gary and I were shopping Wednesday and we were looking through cards with names on them. We were actually looking for one with Gary on it, but when we came to where Gary's name should be, there was a card for Eric. Too many co-incedidences. I believe those signs are Eric telling us he's still here. I know he is happy in heaven but I think he comes home once in a while. He was one who liked family get togethers. Since my birthday is Friday, I know he's thinking of me. Thank you, Eric, for showing me that you still think of me. I know those signs will continue until we are together again. Love , Your mamma Close
This is not at all How we thought it was supposed to be We had so many plans for you We had so many dreams But now you've gone away And left us with the memory of your smile And nothing we can say And nothing we can do Can take away the pain The pain of losing you
And we can cry with hope We can say goodbye with hope Cuz we know our goodbye is not the end, oh, no And we can grieve with hope Cuz we believe with hope There's a place Where we'll see your face again
And never have I known Anything so hard to understand And never have I questioned more The wisdom of God's plan But through the cloud of tears I see your father smile and say "well done" And I imagine you Where you wanted most to be Seein' all your dreams come true, Cuz now you're home and now you're free
And we can cry with hope We can say goodbye with hope Cuz we know our goodbye is not the end, oh, no And we can grieve with hope Cuz we believe with hope There's a place By God's grace There's a place where we'll see your face again
Together we can make it / Nancy Davis
The Holidays will be here before we know it! Each new day brings another day we must tread a path we have not chosen to walk. Each day brings a day we must use our strength we feel has been lost. Each day brings again the realization that our loved one is not longer with us and we must go on.
The only way I have made it this far is by God's grace to give me strength, my friends who keep me going and are there for me. You my Angel Families friends and Memory-of friends have supported me and my family in such ways nobody else could. Your kind words each day on Dusty amd Billy's sites soothes our aching hearts.
Thank you for being there not just on a special day but everyday. We pray for all of you daily and keep you in our thoughts. I have said it many times and will continue to say, "TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE IT!"
Love to you all, Nancy Davis and Dusty's family and friends http://dustin-davis.memory-of.com/ http://william-billy-dean.memory-of.com/about.aspx http://www.ourangelfamilies.com http://www.piczo.com/DLDgraphixbynancy?g=6702625&cr=5 Close

I have not turned my back on you, So there is no need to cry. I'm watching you from heaven. Just beyond the morning sky. I've seen you almost fall apart When you could barely stand. I asked the Lord to comfort you. And watched Him take your hand. He told me you were in more pain, than I could ever be. He wiped his eyes and swallowed hard, Then gave your hand to me. Although you may not feel my hand Or see me by your side I've whispered that I love you While I wiped each tear you cried, So please try not to ache for me We'll meet again one day Beyond the dark and stormy sky A RAINBOW lights the way.
Times/ Marcy (SIS) Dunekack (sister) Hey Eric, I am just sitting here at work thinking about the times we used to have together. This is really funny. This happened the day before you left. You, mom and I were all standing outside your house and you had some of Bryanne stuff and we put it out in the front yard. There was a small window air conditioner and you ask the Mexicans next door if they wanted it. (You had been drinking) You picked it up and took it over to them. Thats just you Eric. I guess if someone was just reading this it wouldn't seem so funny but mom and I know. We still talk about that. Many times we would just go ride do our thing and talk. That was great times. Just time spent together where we could tell each other anything and not have to worry about it because we knew it wasn't going anywhere. I miss that. I don't really have with anyone anymore. I talk to mom and Dave but it's just not the same. The birthday party you and Laura had for me at your house. You guys bought me a really neat hard plastic bear. You were so proud to give that to me. I still have that and will cherish it forever. Also you bought me a little bear in a can with a see through window. It was a March bear with a necklace on it with the March birthstone. I have never taken that bear out of the little tin it is in. It sits on the shelf in my living room. Oh Eric, how I only with I could make more memories with you. But since I can't I will treasure what I have and make that due. You are so missed and loved by so many. You are spoke of often and thought of all the time. I never realized how much one person could change my life so much. Thanks Eric for being my brother, my friend and most of all for the relationship we had. I miss you baby brother.
