Hey Eric, Its been so long my friend. I often think of our great times together at work and on our motorcycles. I really miss you and think of you daily. I will never forget you my friend. I had lunch with your daughter a few times over the years and let me say to you. She is a very mature and lovely girl. She is doing fine. See you someday Eric, so be ready to have some more fun.

Eric,

While we have never met, I have met your sister and can feel her pain after all of these years. Not everyone understands the pain and the people left behind. I can only hope that the sands of time will ease their pain.

While we have never met you are my brother you will never be forgotten.

Hey Bud,
I simply cannot believe how the time has passed the last 13 years without you here. Time does not heal the pain of losing you, it never will.

After all this time, I finaly watched your funeral video with the kids. It has taken a long time for me to be able to do that. I love and miss you so much each and every day!!
I love you.

Hey Bud,
Andrew asked me the other day "when are we going to visit Uncle Eric at the cemetary?" He never met you, but hears some awesome stories and sees the love in my face when I speak of you. I told him soon.

I love you,

Hello Bud,
Another year, there just aren't words to describe the constant longing to see, hear, touch, and share things with you. The kids and I talk about you and they share their feelings of how much they would have liked to have known you in person. They hear stories of our lives together and how much fun we had together. They like to hear about things we did.
I love and miss you so much!!!

Love,
Suzanna

Hellllllooooo Bud!!
Today is your 45th birthday. I am eternally sadened that you are not here year after year. I have always been selfish with you and my love for you. The feelings and the pain do not go away no matter how much time passes.

Kimberly and Andrew wish you a happy birthday. Their love for you is always there. They always say that they never got to meet you and it makes them sad.
I constantly tell them that they should be happy that they have each other, because you never know what can happen.

I love and miss you so much bud!!!

Your memory is honored and revered today. I am so sorry you were robbed of your life at such a young age. You are still loved and missed by so many. The hurt of losing our beloved officers never goes away, but both the pain and pride are forever. I can see that your sister treaures your memory and her relationshp with you

I recently met your brother-in-law Andy who is very active in COPS and contributes so much to fallen officers. I am sure you are proud of the contributions that your family is making.

Rest in Peace

Ten years, a decade, unbelievable... You're always in our thoughts. Left a rose on the local memorial in Oregon in your memory. You are not forgotten.

Helloooooo Bud,
We used to say that all the time. I used to call you early in the morning and say that to you. I could hear Evelyn in the background saying "Tell your sister not to call here so early in the morning". I loved those phone conversations. I still remember your phone number and what you said on the answering machine. Hi, youv'e reached 672-____ please leave a message".
Kimberly, Andrew and I said a prayer this morning for you, and that I was so blessed to have had as much time with you as I did, and what a awesome relationship we had. Kimberly is sad that she and Andrew didn't get to meet you. I told her that you were looking down on us right now and that you were proud of us. She got a big smile on her face.
I love and miss you just as much as I did 10 years ago. You are forever in our hearts.

Love you,
Suzanna, Kimberly and Andrew

Hey Bud......
I was walking along a trail yesterday by myself and was holding back tears thinking of you and how long you have been gone. The pain in my heart hurts so much because I miss seeing and talking with you. Life is not the same, and many chages have taken place. I hold you so close to me that I sometimes just cannot even breathe. I love and miss you so much. That is all I can say!!!

Love Always and Forever,
Suzanna

Dearest Eric,
I cannot believe another year has gone by. Time does not heal the wound and empty space in my heart for you. I long to talk to you and hear your voice. I was at lunch the other day just laying on a bench outside of work looking at the beautiful sky and your old phone number popped into my head. I remember exactly what your message machine said and how you said it. I had to call Evelyn and tell her right away. We both agreed that "it is that time of year again" and the body and heart know all too well.
I love you so much, and will see you again my bud!!
Kimberly had requested to go down to the cemetary a couple of weeks ago to visit with you. I told her I would do the best I could. She feels it in her heart too.

Maltman is what we used to call you Dale. I do remember you.
Thank you for your kind words of Eric. We all love and miss him so much.

I am unable to leave this reflection on the actual day of your passing, but I am with you always.

Love, Suzanna
