I am not even sure why i did. its been a long tme since you left this world. I did not know you very well but I knew you enough to know that you were a great person. I cried alittle in memory of you. You were a great friend to heath and kathleen. They came to visit with there new baby boy. We even talked about those funny drawings you used to make. I dont kow why i am saying all this on the internet I guess its just better to write out your feelings. Miss you Erik. I know you are in a better place. Give God a kiss for me :) Thinking of you.

Erik was so photogenic. I was sitting next to him on a couch in a night club aboard a cruise ship. I just called out "Hey Erik!" He turned and that was the smile I captured. So I'm glad I got a great candid photo, even if it doesn't look like one. It's hard to describe, but if you knew Erik, this photo captures his personality and character like no other. We All Love and Miss You So Much. Thu, 08 Jan 2009 03:40:33 -0800
