Eric David Obituary And Thanks To Those That Care

It’s not easy losing anyone you love and animals are included. We form bonds and forge love relationships in many different ways. Regardless of our feelings and pain, we all love, but as humans we tend to categorize these different types of love and divide them into different compartments and we want our own special cubicle.

I felt very left out of my Son’s funeral and wasn’t asked for any input and Eric’s wife decided I wasn’t even important enough to be put in the video that was shown for family and friends although the person that was a jerk was featured that beat us both up when we were together for the first 10 years for me from 17 till 27 and Eric from 5 months till 10.

I wont get very technical or graphical, but the boy loved that person inspite of everything and boys do love the men that raise them and form bonds. It was a little too late for the blood Father who I recently found for my Son, but he was invited by Eric’s wife even though it wasn’t my choice and I wasn’t even considered, Oh ..Well so much for that.

I’ve learned that funerals never bring out the best in people, and unfortunately many times they bring out the worst in people through their grief. The important thing is that your son, God rest is soul, is with his creator, as you said, and no longer suffering.

Bless you, and may peace and comfort find you soon, that you may not suffer long, but that you remember your son they way he would want you to remember him.

My sincere condolences to you and your family. I am so sorry to hear you and your husband weren’t feeling well either, plus dealing with the death of your son. I hope you and Bill feel better soon and am glad to hear you made it home safely. Hopefully, 2009 will be a much better year for you!

I’m just one of those bloggers who are passing through but be that as it may, I extend my condolences to you and your family. I’m glad that you appreciate the blessing that your child is in a far superior place, where pain and bad memories cease to exist. I wish for you comfort and strength at this most challenging of times-

Jude, my heart goes out to you and your husband. As Matt said, funerals tend to bring the worst out in some people, but know that your son loved you and that whatever else, he will always be your boy. Thank God he is no longer in pain and though he is gone from this earth, he will be with you always.

Hi Jude,

I’m so sorry you weren’t included as part of the “family”. Eric was your son. You did what was right in your heart. The matter is between you and your Maker.

I know it’s incredibly difficult, but I’ll bet Eric would want you to to forgive both the others, for they know not what they do.

I lost my brother that was only 18 years old Oct 23 to a motorcycle accident. I understand the grief you are feeling. Things happened at my brothers funeral that was very upsetting to me but I took a moment and stepped back and realized alot of these people are as torn up as me and they aren’t think with common sense at the moment. People do get hurt at funerals but sometimes its unintentional.

My prayers are with you.

Oh Jude, I am so sorry for your loss. You have experienced every parent’s fear, and for that I am deeply sorry.

There never seems to be any right way to handle funerals, and I’m sorry you felt left out and that you were omitted from the video.

I hope that your fond memories get you through this difficult time.
