Condolence: God bless you my friend. May peace reigns over you, eternally.

Condolence: A year has gone by since we lost our wonderful friend. I have thought of Eric and Elizabeth often, remembering our many emails and the pictures you often sent to me. I know Elizabeth has had a most difficult time with her loss as , without a doubt his family has, too. Please know that Eric lives on in the hearts and memories of the many friends and acguaintances who were lucky to have had Eric in their their lives. May God Bless.

Condolence: Dear Eric,

Knowing is not necessarily meeting
Meeting is not necessarily talking
Talking is not necessarily with words
Words are not necessarily be spoken.
This mind, a wondrous enigma
Playing a game so subtle and powerful
Merges swiftly with things of joy
Rejecting that which is painful.

A friend unknown yet well known
Through his writing so touching
And the best that I liked most
Is the one he wrote on ‘Life’s Carousel’.
Though geographically distanced
And we had never spoken nor met
There is in me all the while a great respect
I held for this man, b’coz despite the pain he wrote well.

Down deep I feel he is a wonderful soul ever-lived
Now he is gone, I am longing to see more of him
Alas!! This journey in time, warrants an end
Of everything that sprout and spread around.
It may be a divine play and a past time my Lord
But, we mortals hardly prepared to face this separation
The law is made and all is done
Oh Lord!! Please take care this friend of mine.

One day will definitely come
When I too shall shed this mortal coil
And, my friend if the divine will permits
We will meet in the misty eternity.
Nothing ends though the body is gone
Words written, thoughts enshrined
Shall follow me closer than my shadow
And at every turn I will always remember you.

I pray that in the heavenly garden you find the solace
With good care and love eternal embracing you all the time
This eternal journey has no stop
I believe every end is just another beginning.

Take care my friend. God Bless you.

Condolence: Dear Elizabeth,
I never met Eric in real life, he was a cherished internet friend but even by this distant media I knew Eric was a compassionate and deep thinking man. He touched my heart with his comments many times and always gave such wise advice. Doing the family history research for him made me feel close to him and the rest of the family, which was a real privilege. I will never forget the day his dad's death certificate arrived and how I anguished over sending it to him. It was a pleasure to share a part in Eric's life journey. My thoughts are with you Elizabeth, I know he cherished you dearly. xx

Condolence: Elizabeth,

I am honoured that I got to meet Eric and yourself a few years back as we talked over Timmies coffee at your place. I have enjoyed meeting with various folks I know from the internet while on my travel. When I saw Eric and you, I knew immediately you two were such a happy couple that enjoyed each minute you had with each other. I am sorry that your dear soulmate Eric is no longer with you but remember folks like me got to see the love you two had for each other. I pray for strength for you during this time.

Condolence: Though I never met Tankie, he was real for me in his stories on the forums. I always looked forward to his comments, and we shared some common background. We may have differed on some teams to root for, and other things, but his contributions were always interesting.

Condolence: Dear Elizabeth and Stephen...our deepest sympathy to you both. Eric was a man that will always be remembered for his soft and gentle spirit and his love for you his Son, and Elizabeth, the absolute love of his life. We too believe that without you Elizabeth, your love for one another, and your care, Eric wouldn't have lived as long as he did. Elizabeth, you and Eric were/are blessed to have experienced the oneness you shared. You are never alone, please know that. Stephen...bless your heart. Your dear Father loved you so. We are so proud to have known Eric...and our hearts go out to you both in profound sympathy. {{{{{Hug}}}}} May peace and comfort be yours.

Condolence: Dear Elizabeth:

I just wanted to share some things with you from my heart. I remember the day dad and I came to Muskoka to pick you up and move you in with dad. I remember telling him he was crazy, how can you trust a woman that you meet on the internet. I didn't know you guys had been talking for two years. However, I got to see first hand how you loved and cared for my dad. I was able to relax because I saw that dad was in good hands. I believe that dad lived a lot longer because of your love and care. On the phone, dad often told me he didn't know how he would have survived without you. I have a lot of love and respect for you today. I believe dad loved you very much. I hope you find comfort in knowing this. I believe you were the best thing that happened to my dad in many years. I am praying the God bless you and comfort you during this difficult time. If there is anything I can ever do for you then please let me know. I will be eternally grateful for how you treated my dad. God bless you always.

Love Steve
