      I created this tribute for Eric's Celebration of Life Service.  So many of you have followed our journey so I thought this would give you some insight on the man he was.

              Loved the black thick rim Woody Allen Glasses! I see he went through a hippie phase, we all did. Me too! The fireplace looks identical to mine as well. He almost looks like Jim Carey sometimes with that smile. We had the exact same pool too, it was the Intex brand. It lasted a few years. "Hand in hand" looked awesome!

              Nice tribute.

                          Dear Jill,

                          Rhank you so much for sharing the Celebration of Eric's life video. What a beautiful family you are. I was awed at how strong Eric and you stayed throughout his journey and how unselfish both of you are to the very end. God Bless you and your children!

                                                                You've inspired me and today we went and bought a scanner, I plan on putting together family pictures so that our grandbaby will be able to have a history of us.

                                                                      I wish you strength in dealing with this loss.  Keep Eric's spirit alive and make the best of everyday.
