This is Lindsey Kennedy.  Eric was a very special someone to me.  No one
could ever compare to the type of person he was.  We worked together at
US Airways.  I had met him in school then we kinda lost touch.  We
became very close when we began working together.  The one thing that
sticks out in my mind is how wise he was.  It amazed me how much wisdom
he had to only be 21 yrs. old.  Gosh I miss him.  Somewhere along the
lines it doesn't seem fair.  He shouldn't have been the one to go.  I
catch myself thinking about him constantly.  It distracts me away from
whatever I'm doing at that time.  I have a son named Collin.  Eric loved
him.  He always told me how beautiful he was.  Things are difficult for
me because I have to raise him alone, so I tend to get a little
frustrated at times.  I need Eric's calm voice to tell me that it'll be
okay and that I'm doing a great job.  He made me feel so wonderful about
myself.  It was such a blessing to have him in my life for that short
period of time.  Mr. Mike and Ms. Cindy, y'all did a wonderful job.  I
hope I can raise my son to have the smarts like Eric and the gentle
kindness.  I know y'all are so proud.  I want to keep in touch with you
both.  I think Eric would like that.  He spoke great things about y'all.
I've never seen any man love his mother like that.  I envy that.  You
are in my thoughts and prayers every night.  Eric, watch over Collin and
me.  I miss you so very much.  I love you and I hope you knew that, oh I
pray you did.  I'm gonna try my best to be good so I can be with you
again one day.  Love you forever, Lindsey Rose

This is Kristen. I worked with Eric at US Airways. I just wanted to say
that I am very sorry for what happened. I loved Eric very much. He was
such a good friend of everyone here and it is so different without him.
He was like a big brother to me. I told him all of my problems and he
could always find comforting words for me. He was like our body guard,
standing behind us if were getting yelled at by a passenger. We get
really close with each other at our job. I know it's nothing like the
pain and hurt you're feeling, but we're feeling it too. Everyday we talk
about him, and how he used to make us laugh, and I'm happy to say that
he still does. We'll never forget him and never be able to replace how
he made us feel working with him everyday, but I'm sure he's in a better
place and we'll all be able to see him again.

Hi this is Humaira S. Qureshi, I think everyone knows who I am. I knew Eric for 
about ten years, and we dated for five and a half wonderful years. He knew every 
little detail about me, and vice versa. Of course, We had our differences, but 
what couple doesn't. Right baby?  Oh God I miss him so much. Eric was my best 
friend, soul mate, and my other half. I feel like my heart has been ripped out. 
Eric had a heart of gold, he wouldn't hurt a fly. God knows he wouldn't let 
anything happen to me or Cindy. He was our "Big Ole Teddy Bear". He had this 
charisma about him that was unreal. He had an impact on every person he met.  I 
personally have a problem with death, Eric and I would sit up late at night and 
he would talk to me about life. he would always tell me there was no reason to 
be scared, that if you believed in God there was nothing to fear. Not to ever 
worry! He said, "Those in Heaven could only see the good here on Earth." (Not 
the Bad), and I believe that. There are times I find myself just in a daze 
thinking about him, and how I just want to touch him, see him, tell him I love 
him, and I am sorry, and all the memories we shared. WOW at the memories. I am 
having a hard time grasping the fact I will never see him again (except for in 
my dreams). I often question God, which I shouldn't do I know, but I ask him why 
he took away such an Angel, but I know that is a question that will never be 
answered. I learned so much from Eric, and I will never forget any of it. Eric 
always told me not to worry that you will see the loved ones you lost again in 
Heaven. I know Eric is in Heaven where he will never again be hurt or feel any 
pain ever again and he will always be watching over us. There is still so much I 
don't understand.  I consider myself blessed to have known Eric for ten years, 
and to have been apart of one of Gods precious Angels for so long. Baby I love 
you so much, and always will. I pray that you knew that, and I think you did. 
Cindy and Mike you two will always be apart of my life and I love you both so 
much.  You are both in my thoughts and prayers each day. Just remember keep God 
in your hearts and know that one day we will be reunited with Eric again one day 
in Heaven. Eric baby my love for you is unconditional always has been and always 
will be, and I look forward to the day I will see your sweet face again in 
Heaven. Love For Eternity Humaira S. Qureshi
