    If positive thoughts were ever going to pull anyone through, then Eric and the family have had them in bucket loads over the weeks, unfortunatly it was not enough, he was just too tired, words cannot express the sadness I am feeling for you and your family, as people have said take comfort from the support you will recieve over the comming weeks,

    Lots of love and support for you all xx

    Smoky,

    I am so sorry to hear about Eric. I wish there was something that I could say or do to ease your pain but there isn't. Please know that my thoughts are very much with you and the children today.

    Sleep peacefully Eric, we're all missing you.

    Oh Smokey, I am so very sorry - my thoughts are with you and your children. Nothing can comfort you at this time - and everything I can think of sounds very trite - however I hope that the memories you have will bring you some sort of comfort in time.

    ((((((hugs)))))))))))
