    Hi Diane, I am so sorry about your loss. I feel like I have lost a friend as well. I was Eric’s teacher at Douglass High School. We had a great relationship when he went to school there. I enjoyed him as a student and he brought much joy and laughter. He had the best sense of humour. I will always remember him for that. I am so sad for your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I am so glad that I was able to have known Eric. He enriched my life in many ways.

    Sincerely
    Ms. Dickel

    I knew Eric from living at Paquin Tower. He was a very nice person to talk with. Many who talked with him will miss him.

    May God as you understand Him strengthen you in this your time of mourning.

    Dear Diane,
    I was deeply saddened by the news about the loss of your son Eric. I wish I could say that I know how difficult it is for you…but the truth is that I cannot even imagine the extent of your loss.
    However, I know how much you will miss Eric. You will see his eyes in your grand-children’ s eyes and the memory about Eric will be long-lasting as you watch them grow.
    I wish I was closer to help you in these difficult times. You are in my thoughts, Diane.

    Sincerely,

    Yana
