Dear Don, Linda, and family… I am so very sorry to learn of your loss of Eric.
Fortunately, death is only a temporary part of life. Jesus promised us a wonderful resurrection of the dead (John 5:28,29/1 Thessalonians 4:13, 14), so we have the hope of being reunited with our deceased loved ones. In the meantime, even though the pain of loss through death may sometimes seem insurmountable, rest assured that God will give you the strength necessary to endure the coming months (Psalm 46:1).
Please accept my deepest sympathy and sincere condolences…. John

Hello my name is joseph I am very sorry to hear about what happened. When I was 14 my dad my died when he was 40.That was very hard on me and my family. What truly keep us going was what the bible said at Acts 24:15 ” There is going to be a resurrection”. The promise that god will give is at Revelation 21:3,4 (3 With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”) For deeper information visit jw.org.

Eric was my best friend growing up and I am truly sorry for hearing this later than sooner. We had the best times together as kids. I remember going fishing with him at hardwood Mills.
