"Erik, you are still missed regardless the amount of time that has gone by. I remember when I got the news from Alex that you had passed away: it was a tough moment in both our lives. You were apart of our family and I always enjoyed seeing your face at our family home: sharing meals, stories, and laughs. You had a contagious smile and laugh that I will never forget. Love to your family and friends; that carry your memory with them always. "
In loving memory of
