You never ever expect to loose a child. My prayers are with the family. I am so sorry you are having to go through this. We love you Larry & Cheryl Bowers
Eric was a dear friend and neighbor. He loved this nation and flying the American and USMC flag on his front lawn. Eric lived out what this means: once a Marine, always a Marine. Semper Fi. He sure liked his Dr. Pepper, having friends over for cookouts, playing cards, or we'd pull lawn chairs out into our driveways and sit a spell. Almost every Sunday night he would come over to turn the log splitter off and we'd go get fountain drinks together. Eric was a man of his word, lived his faith, and sure made his dad and country proud. Kitty, I'll never forget the night he said: get over here and help me set up this bedroom because my mom is coming tomorrow. He was so particular in making sure things were done just so on his house. We will surely miss our dear friend Eric and his loving folks and sisters who cared for his every need. God bless you and we love you, Matt (a/k/a: The Firewood Guy)
