Graf, i still look at this website everyday, still listen to the song and i still think about you everyday. You were the kind of person that made every smile when you walked by, maybe because they were lookin at your hair, but who knows, haha im just playin Graf. You will always be in my prayers because i love you brother. O yeah and look out for me at Haines Park man, i got spanked today, and if you want to help me out with an Ace, i would appreciate it. Peace out Graphite.

Eric it doesn't get any easier. I wanted it to get easier and it's not getting easier, if anything it's getting harder. Although I think about it less frequently when i do think about it it hurts more because i haven't given myself time to grieve. I want so badly to have you here eric. I saw your brother the other night and if you are reading this dave, you can depend on me for anything.. you are truly an amazing person, and a few days before eric passed he talked about you two doing stuff together, maybe moving to CA together? I dont really remember, that week is kidna blurry. Anyways the way in which he talked about you was with great pride and love and i just wanted you to know that. So I hope you have the opportunity to grace this page. But if your family needs anythinga ll of us (eric's friends) are here and i hope that by calling or emailing we will be there to do anything you need. eric never meant to hurt you or any of us. He wasn't that kind of person. We love him and miss him so much. I just wanted to say hi er and im thinking of you. I dont want to let go.

Hey Eric-How ya doin? I just figured I'd write and say hi. I went to my sister's grad party yesterday and she had a table of pictures out. There was one of you and my mom hugging, I think it was at last years prom. It was awesome, cuz my mom was laughing hysterically in the picutre, and thats just what you used to do to people... make them laugh. Thats what we all were guaranteed to have as a friend of yours... a good laugh. Your still keeping us smiling Graf, those will never end. xoxo _Shan_P.S. The fort is well.. a fort that a bunch of the boys built in the woods by Graf's house.. just a place to chill n a lot of memories were made..

Oh the fort....well last summer i called one of the guys and asked what they were doing and they told me they were building a fort. I couldnt believe it, i thought it was funny since we are in highschool but i also thought it was so cute. They spent everyday building it, i swear if they werent at work or sleeping they were building it. It took a few weeks and when it was done the fun began. We had sooo many parties there with everyone! Also just a lot of fun times when we just chilled watched a movie or something. Oh yes it sure does have electicity. One time i will never forget was the first time the guys slept back there, and i came over in the morning to wake them up and the couch was on the roof! the roof was prolly one of my favorite spots. Wow i really wish you were still here, everyday i think of you and wish you were still w/ us. Every party i can feel u there w/ us with that silly beer hat on haha! I know u are prolly having a great time up there. I love you! ~Jenny

Hey Graf! Well a couple of us went over to your house this morning...we talked to your brother for a while and went back to the fort for the first time. Damn, did it feel empty back there...and the memories just came flooding back. It's just not the same AT ALL without your presence but it felt good and bad at the same time to see it again. I was so excited the long awaited trampoline was up :) You always made that place feel like a second home to us Graf...its amazing what that fort did for all of our friends. It just isnt the same anymore....but thank you for the times we had there and thank you for the memories that will live on with us all forever. You've made a difference in every single one of our lives....love ya kid

Why Me? Confused, Hostile, and Alone THAT'S ME! I'm tired of waking up every morning. I'm sick of working so hard for so little. I did not ask to be here. If I did I would be happy. I'm not happy, why me? Why me? I want too much of what I can't have. I need too much of what I can't have. Why Me? Why can't I have what I need? I'm Lost. I'm Angry. MY Heart Hurts. Why, Why Me? I'm not the only one who feels this way, EVERYDAY. It's cold in my world with all these people. So I think about leaving. Why Me? I don't want to leave, But I feel I have to. Why Me? I sometimes laugh, But I'm not laughing, I'm crying, Why Me? I look into the future I only see darkness and pain. I'm always standing in the cold wet rain. I'm all by myself, Why Me? I'm dying all by myself. Why Me?

Hey Eric...I miss you so much. It makes me so mad that you will not be with us on Tuesday...It was not supposed to happen this way! As you know, my momma and your mom have been walking every day. And she comes over occasionally. She is so changed Er! She needed to know something. It is tearing her apart because she thinks she did something wrong! It's so unfair! She said to my mom she would get mad at you when you got home late, and she would just say, "I was worried about you, I dont know what I would do without you''. I still call your phone all the time, There are SO many voicemails on that thing! As we are beginning the summer and going to grad parties, you are always thought of. People write on here that your friends aren't posting messages anymore, but you know how hard it is to look on this page! We need closure, and we deserve closure. You will never be forgotten, by any of us. Me and Cait were thinking about when we saw you leaving matts house. And you were like awww my two favorite frankfort girls. And we made an Eric sandwich!!! That is what I miss, hugging you and talking to you! And what bridget said about when you told us about the fort before it was even made...you all were sooo excited and you told us about the zip line you were going to connect to the house! and when you finally got electricity out there, someone cut the line hahaha! So Eric please be there for your mom right now okay! And even though we dont write on here everyady, it doesn't mean we have lost thought of you. It means that we need to move on with our feelings of loss and emptiness. You chose to leave us and you are feeling no pain now, and I hope no regret. But we were left here with the doubt and hurt. I love you bro, and I miss you more then I can explain. I will talk to you again soon. Oh and Er... I finally got those red highlights haha!!!!!

Hey er, i was just thinking about ya and back to 6th grade.. You remember when we took those second city classes with that creepy dude? i think conley took them with us.. Yeah it was pretty fun though.. We had some mad improvisation going on.. Then on prom when we went ot the comedy club me and u decided to go up there and volunteer.. haha we tried out best, we were pretty lame though i must say.. we gave our group a good laugh though huh, probably at our expense? I miss you a lot eric, i miss you a ton. I also wanted to apologize for the night i got snappy with you at maggiano's cuz i was sad.. you were just trying to make me smile.. i remember i was sitting in the backseat an dyou were sitting in the back-backseat in ty's yukon and you put your hand on my shoulder while i was basically bawling my eyes out... you were really there for me.. i remember grabbing your hand.. god er, i wish i could've done the same fo ryou.. geez er, i cried in front of you, you could've cried in front of me. Rachel told me that while you sat in the abckseat you asked her what you shoudl do to make me feel better.. see that's you eric, you knew i was hurting and wanted to help.. why couldn't i see that with you... Well guess what we graduate in less than a week now and you will be there with us i know you will. i have to say your part of the alphabet at graduation and when i skip over your name it's going to absolutely break my heart.. I want you to know that personally i have dedicated my speech to you and your family.. You'll understand when you hear it my darling.. we all must hold onto memories..I love you.. i'm always thinking about you, and everyday it's a whole new heartbreak

Everytime I listen to the song "Science" by Coldplay... it kills.. It reminds me so much of you.. You are truly missed Graf.. Schools out man, and I wish you coulda been there, cuz I know you woulda ran outta that school yellin and bein so happy that your finally done.. I just wish your family and all of your friends could see you walk across that stage with your diploma.. You woulda been something... And we all hold you in our hearts and I know that when all of your friends that are graduating walk accross that stage, you'll be right there with them cuz that's where you deserve to be. You deserved to graduate.. you deserved to succeed in life. Your one of those kids that people look back on in 10 years and say damn, that kid was awesome! .. But you have Robert now, even if you didn't know him.. you got a friend up there, and you've got plenty down here for sure.. Watch over your friends this summer Graf.. its most of your friends last "hoorah" because everyone will separate in a few months. We all miss you and hope to see you in our dreams.. Peace Graf..

wow Graf, I can't believe tomorrow is our last day of high school ever....you should really be here for this because i know how excited you would be. I remember last year we were so excited for junior year to end and you and all the boys were building the fort. I remember you telling me and Hillary and we were like omg how old are u, you are building a fort haha. But it turned out great and it holds soo many memories. This summer is gonna be soo weird w/ you not around. We were together all the time last summer and everyone was always at the fort. I'm gonna miss all those good times, i know we all will. I remember on the first day of school this year you were gonna drive me and Hillary to school in your new mustang but your mom said no because she thought it would get hit in the parking lot but you still said you would drive us in the crown vic aka the cop car, but we decided against it haha. This summer just wont be the same, Im gonna miss our trip downtown, chillin at the fort, our parties at Rachel's and you and all the boys taking us to Reagan road to try to scare us! I just wanna let you know that I'm always thinking about you and we all miss you more than words can describe! I love you Graf!

And i honestly thought to myself, ahh lets go try to get graf out of his class! it was the weirdest thing, i almost felt like u would really be there for those few minutes. I found pictures of us today walking out for Homecoming Court candidates together. You were quite the escort!! Of course our reign ended there and neither of us got it! hahah but oh well it was fun trying! Ive been thinking about u a lot and i miss you....love u graf

And yup, I'm still sayin a lil prayer for ya everyday cause we all miss more than words can say... I was chillin in class the other day thinkin about the disney song concert you and Rach performed for us... That was completely outta control! But you have given me great memories, I can think of a different one everyday... Well, Graf, I love ya kid, take care of yourself... And like Bridge said, just think man, we could've went back and say 40 days and 40 nights, and this time you could've sat w/ us big kids... haha...

Eric, it took me a very long while to collect myself and go to this page and write you something. I wondered what would be appropriate.. So I left the decision up to God, and he told me prayer seems suitable. I'll see you in heaven Eric, Rest In Peace buddy.
~GrantEven though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I fear no evil;
for thou art with me;
Thy rod and thy staff,
They comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
thou anointest my head with oil,
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life;
and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

i may have never known you personally, but i want to tell you your missed terribly. im just a nobody sophmore, and i can feel the sorrow radiating from those who knew you. but i also wanted to say thank you as strange as that sounds. i say it because i have cried myslef to sleep so many times thinking no one cared and that i wouldnt be missed if i went ahead and did what i thought i should. and now, seeing this site it makes me realize that how ever horrible i may think my life is, im still loved by my friends. its something i know i can never thank you enough for--my life and my friends. youll never be forgotten and we will always miss you.

Graf,I'm a little late on the birthday wishes, but I will just hope you were born after 1:30 AM and this can be a "Happy Anniversary Of Your 24-Hour After Birth Period." Happy Belated Birthday regardless. I still miss you greatly. I remember a week or so before spring break in Gabey's class he mentioned a ship called the "Graf Spee" and you said something to the effect of "Graf Spee? I like the sound of that!" Your sense of humor was one of a kind. At my great grandpa's funeral on Wednesday, I was reminissing and recalled that on the day of the homecoming pep rally, while we were waiting to walk out in front of everyone, I tried to put my ridiculous costume on. I needed help getting it on and you were quick to help me. I actually almost got away with wearing it until the administration stepped in with the old "fun and pep rally don't mix" argument and I had to take it off. You were always there to help out - always there to brighten the day of others. Your laugh was so unique, I can remember it clearly. It was contagious. More than a month later, this is still surreal. I'm still waiting for the hillarious punchline in true Graf fashion, but I eventually have to come to grips with the fact that there is none. Sadly, this is reality. I sincerally hope that you found what you were looking for. Happy Birthday. Love,
Mike Joyce

I'm sitting here, balling my eyes out seriously, thinkin about how if I did this to myself... how I would feel looking down on earth from heaven and reading thesse messages about how many people love me. Eric.. dear, you have about 500 messages here it seems.. they all state how much they all love you. It makes me mad how you can just go off and do that, in a way I understand, but in another, I don't at all. Please help explain it to me. Let me figure out a way. I miss you. and I truly love you... ya lil carrot top! ;-)

. : : E r i C : : .Okay, I didn't know you at all personally. That's alright though. I know a few people at LWE and they were all sooo upset over losing you. And after hearing their stories, it made me miss you too. Reading everyones messages in here, made me cry *THE MUSIC TOO!* haha, but really, It's ashame to hear you did something like that to yourself. I've had ideas of doing the thing that you did, but didn't risk it. I thought about my family and friends that actually really did care about me. The whole reason I was gonna do it... was because it seemed like no one even cared about me anymore. I learned that I was wrong, very wrong. I understand it an all, but you made a mistake. Everyone here misses you. And I really mean everyone. I don't even know you at all... and i do miss you. I'm still crying here. But its alright. You've got many people up there helping you out! I know my grandparents and my aunt are up there, helping you out because I prayed and asked them too. Maybe we'll meet up sometime in heaven! Who knows! I have red hair too! Except I have blonde highlights, so its like strawberry blonde... but we have something in common already! I think I better go before I end up balling my eyes out. Eric, honestly, though it may seem strange because of me not knowing you... I just want to tell you I really love you. See you up there in heaven! I'll try and write more soon! Tell my family i love them... and I love you xOxO -Heather-
