hey eric-
i dont know you and i've never even met you. i have seen you in the halls a couple times and you always seemed so happy. i dont really understand why you thought that this was the only way out, but then again i guess i've never been in that position. i wish you could have somehow told someone, there are obviously so many people who love you. from the stories i've heard, you sound like an amazing person. I hope you are getting settled in heaven and that you feel better there, in paradise. i hope you get to find sarah up there and maybe she could show you around, its probally hard being "the new guy". you sound like you and sarah would be perfect friends- both kinda goofy but deep down amazing people. i'll continue to pray for u, your family and your friends. i cant wait till the day that i can finally meet this awesome person that i've never met. i dont really like to use the phrase "rest in peace" because in heaven you are not at rest, but you are so alive. Live it up to its full potential up there, for you are there for eternity.
love,
a destine friend

Eric-I don't really know what to say.. I'm really at a loss for good words when it comes to this, but I'll give it a shot .. Everybody has a lot of different opinions on what happened, but either way, no matter what you were going through, I wish you would have never given up. There are So many things in life that you can give up on.. but life itself is just too precious, though more often than not it doesn't feel that way, and I know that, and I'm sorry. But aside from that Eric.. it's crazy how much everyone misses you, and will always miss you, for everything you've ever done.. for all the friendships you've ever made, and for all the smiles you put on frowning faces. I wish you had realized the impact you had on people's lives before you -thought- your impact was so little .. You touched my life in a way that makes me think about things more often than I normally would.. and more carefully.. but most importantly, I'm sorry that I needed a reason like this to change the way I think about things. To make them more important, because everyone knows that you never know the value, the Worth of something until it's gone.. but it's been made more than obvious that everything about you is priceless. Everything about you is cherished, but none like your memory.. be proud that you made one of the best one's yet, and that you're in so much of a better place. We'll Never, Ever forget you Eric- Rest In Peace <33 Love Always,

Eric:Your death has deeply saddened and confused my daughter who was a good friend of yours. You should know how well you were thought of by her and so many of your friends. Out of such a sad event, many important lessons are learned. Rachel learned to appreciate your many qualities and her life will be better because of you. I have learned to never take anything for granted and to love and cherish my children at every opportunity because you NEVER want to look back and wish for a second chance. I only wish there was a way that you could have found peace in your own life here. I wish you would have cried out for help. I know that your friends would have been at your side and I would have been honored to help in any way I could. I will not say that I understand or know what your friends and family are going through because I don't.. and hope that I never do, but despite your short life, you were important and special to many, many people, including my daughter. This honor should serve you well in the place you are now. Heaven can always use someone with a good sense of humor. Please rest in peace and God bless all of your friends and family. Gary Glader

To Everyone:
Don't think of them as gone away,
their journey has just begun.
Life holds so many facets,
this earth is only one.Just think of them as resting
from the sorrows and the tears,
in a place of warmth and comfort,
where there are no days and years. Think of how they must be wishing
that we could know today,
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away. And think of them as living
in the hearts of those they touched
for nothing loved is ever lost
and they were loved so much. *Death is a part of Life. No one escapes its clutches, and no one long escape the harsh reality of dealing with the loss of someone dear. Life-Death It stalks the night
It stalks the day
It seeks out life
And whisks it away
It's known as death
And other things too
But it's all the same
What matters is you.
How do you see it?
What does it mean?
It's best if you know
For death is unseen.
It can take you at day
It can take you at night
Knowing death well
Can lend you some light
The passage to death
Is always unclear
And it's best to know
That you're very near.
For death is at hand
It is for us all
Know it's face well
So you don't stumble and fall
Now think hard on death
And know that it's near
And the meaning of life
Will be all to clear
And that is to live
For your hearts desire
Not to stumble or fall
But to burn with a fire.
A fire for life
To live for each day
To reach for your dreams
No matter what people say
Life is a question
And death holds a clue
Reach not for the answer
For your life's not due
Live for the moment
And die for it too
For it's the moment that counts
It, and you
Now I'm all done
I've said what I'll say
Just remember one thing
Live for the day!

I just got back from your wake. You have no idea how many people were crying! We all loved you sooo much, whether we knew you or not! Nobody deserved life more than you, becuz you were so full of it! You took every second you had and made it the best. Now that you are gone, you have taken it all away! How could you leave us all behind? What was it that got to you? I guess, my question to you is why?!? Why, on Earth, would you leave us- your friends and family! We love you so much, and one day without you is like a day without sunshine. I hardly knew you, yet I couldn't stop balling my eyes out- my boyfriend, Chris Johnson, misses you so much! It tears me apart looking at him, becuz all I see is hurt and confusion! He loved you, and that's reason enough for me to love you too! I hope you will keep all of us safe from harm's way, and remember everything we have done for you, for only if we knew- we would have NEVER let this happen.
Love Always & Forever,

Well Eric i just got home from the wake. And to be honest with you, I've never been to one like that before. I have never seen so many people come together at once- I didnt hear one bad thing about you. Everyone just wants to know why. Why would someone so special want to do something so horrible? Your best friends were just sayin how they love you more then you'll ever know. And no matter where or when it was when you walked into a room you lit it up right away. Then I heard another girl say that you would always be the one to stick up for her if someone would make fun of her or cut her down. You were just truly a good person Eric. There are so many good memories I have heard about that involve you and wouldnt have been the same without you. That big smile and great sense of humor, my God Eric your missed so much. I know your lookin down on all of us. And we couldnt ask for a better person to do so. R.I.P Eric Graf-See you when I get there... but until then.. I miss ya man... and we all love you.

Hey eric,
i've known u since kindergarten but we were never really friends...all i know
is that i never saw you ONE time without a smile on your face and i know that
this is so hard foreverone especially your close friends and family of course
and my sympathy is with all of them. I remember 6th grade we had Mrs. McKay,
you were the life of it every single day. You will be missed greatly by all, but i know
your in a better place now so i hope you rest in peace. I hope to see you someday again.

To All Of Eric's Family and Friends...I wish I could have been closer to him, but this must have been written with you and Eric in mind:If the sun refuse to shine,
I would still be loving you.
When mountains crumble to the sea,
There will still be you 'n' me. Little drops of rain whisper of the pain,
The tears of loves' lost in the days gone by.
My love is strong, with you there is no wrong,
Together we shall go until we die. Ohh-my, my.
An' inspiration's what you are to me.
Inspiration look 'n' see. And so today my world it smiles,
Your hand in mine we walk the miles.
But thanks to you it will be done
For you to me are the on__ly o__ne. Alright yeah.
Happiness, no more be sad.
Happiness, I'm glad. If the sun refuse to shine,
I would still be lovin' you.
Mountains crumble to the sea,
There will still be you an' me.

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
Blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have you found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.Pink Floyd-Wish You Were Here I havent talked with you in a while but I just wanted you to know how much pain I have been obsereving since you have been gone. I do not know how to express to you how much you are loved by SO MANY people. RIP kiddo... With Love,

Eric, we didn't really know each other too well, but our lives did brush each other at a few moments. you were most recently in my gym class and destroyed my team at basketball. I knew your strategy, don't think i didn't, but what was i gonna do? let's just say i'm not the most athletic person there ever was. and then i remember once i was visiting you guys at J.C. flicks just before close and you tried to jump one of those movie racks. and you did it, no problem, but then you put the sign on top of it that said "drama" or whatever and we all knew you weren't going to make it, but alas, you cleared it with ease and we all had a good laugh. Anyways, i don't know if there's any point to this message other than to add to the already enormous number of people that you brought joy to. you'll be missed Eric, R.I.P.

Eric. . . i have known you for 12 years, and writing this is something i never would have predicted. You were so great to be around and you always had my back. There was never a day you couldn't make me smile, even through the worst of times. Its amazing that i have to say good bye. I still can not believe it. I did not get the news until today b/c i was in Florida . Eric you made so many people happy, and you greatfully left us with so many wonderful memories that will always remain. I remember when we were in first grade and i made fun of your hair, and you told me that your mommy says "girls who make fun of you really LOVE YOU." I thought that was the funniest thing. And then in second grade we were boyfriend and girlfriend { looks like your mother was right!}. We were close friends throughout grade and jr. high school and most of the time we had the same teacher. Ms. Komarck's science class had to be the craziest class of them all - CUT & PASTE- every one in her class is probably scared from that experience. She was soo clueless We use to tell her we had to use the computers and then we'd go sit in the library or roam the school( or the back room haha). We grew up and grew apart but still talked . Every party i went to you were there making people laugh .I'll never forget the night you stole my bandana - You know what night that was. You pretty much chilled in the car away from the toliet paper throwing,mustard squirting, and porno throwing going on aroun you. And you lucky bastard didn't get in trouble for it one bit!! I am so greatful to have known you and you taught me so many things. Eric ~ No one will ever foget you! I miss you so much already, and I will always always love you. Watch over us all. Godspeed. Sweet dreams.
Rest in peace - Big Red/Graphite

well Eric...there is not a whole lot to be said. I know that we havent been in touch really at all during the last two years of high school, but i knew who you were and i will never forget you..no one ever will. You always had something to cheer up everyones days. And though we hung out constantly during our freshman and sophomore year, i wish that i could have kept in touch a lot more towards the end, and though im not sure if it would have helped at all because of the reasons of you choice, but you have all of these people who care about you and they will carry your memory in their hearts forever. You will be in our hearts forever and rest in peace, Eric.

Sorry it took so long for me to write....It's taken me a few days to decide whether to write in here or not. Mostly because I have just been at a loss of words, but another reason bc you and I weren't close friends and I wasn't sure if it would be fair to everyone who is close to you, but I've decided to write bc ever since Soph year when you and I had classes together you have made an impact on my life just like you have to everyone else, whether it be one of your bestfriends or just someone who is just writing in here to express their feelings about you. I was completely shocked when I heard the news because knowing you, you seem like a carefree guy who loves every minute of every day. I just wish you would have went to one of your hundreds of friends who care soo much about you because you know, Eric, there is not one person in this world who could say something bad about you and we all wish we could just have you back.It's hard to hold back the tears whenever I think about you, but even harder to look at your friends who have lost such a wonderful person and inspiration in their lives as well as mine. To the family and good friends, I'm praying for you guys everyday, but I know that you're all doing just fine and coming together to cope with all of this. I don't know why you did it, but I just hope all your pain is gone now. I'm a little at ease knowing that you're in a better place now and I hope your happy and living it up in heaven. I know a lot of people are going to remember all the laughs Eric has given to us...Eric, thanks for all of mine. I love you, RIP.Love

Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road.
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go.
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why.
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time. It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right.
I hope you had the time of your life. So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind.
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time.
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial.
For what it's worth, it was worth all the while.
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right.

This is so real. I can't believe that in a few minutes I'm getting ready to say my last goodbyes to you. I just read through everybody's messages and its hard to think that someone who was so loved was lost. You always seemed so happy. You always made everyone else so happy. Looking at all the pictures of you, I wonder where all the sad pictures are. Where are the pictures that showed us what was about to happen? I remember being at Chellino's farm and you fell off the roof onto Catherine Miller. I remember at Patrizi's just a couple weeks ago you sneaking a cup out of a filling cabinent for me and us sitting on the couch with Footie and Murphy reminesing on the time Murphy and Chellino did that skit at the fort. That was halarious. I remember us talking about having a party back there soon, that its been so long. I can't believe that your really gone. Eric, you are so missed. I love you.

When I heard the news I was just in a slump and thought about how someone I knew could do something so drastic. Remember when you schooled me in gym basketball, Your stragety was to stand under the hoop and wait for the tall kids to pass it to you for the layup, funny how you missed about 50 layups and still beat us so very badly, I guess you just had that skill. All I know is you are an all around good guy and nothings changed about that. Your in our hearts and you wont be forgotten you basketball prince. Rest in peace.

How can I just let you walk away
Just let you leave without a trace
When I'm standing taking every breath, with you
You're the only one who really knew me at all
How can you just walk away from me
When all I can do is watch you leave
Cause we've shared the laugher and the pain
And we even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now
There's just an empty space
There's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Oh take a look at me now
There's just an empty space
And you coming back to me
Is against all odds
And that's what I've got to face

as im reading all these messages from people that loved you, im thinkin to myself, how can anyone, at anytime, anywhere even accidentally think of doing something this drastic, there was nothing but love surrounding you bro. i know life sucks sometimes, actually it sometimes feels like it sucks most of the time, but even when you think the worst has happen and theres nothing you can do about it, you stop, and you realize, that life does go on, no matter what. Just when you think nothing will ever get you through the tough times, a day will go by, a week, than a year...and you stop and think to yourself, man, i got through that, i dont know how i did...but i did. i never knew this kid the way any of you did, but from what i read, i know it must be tough for everyone, tough is putting it lightly. this is a message to all of you though, dont ever, EVER think that nothing can make your life better than it already is. It might feel like your all by yourself, and noone loves you, believe me, ive been through it, im going through it, but what keeps me and all of us going is the thought that it might feel like noone loves us, but, there is, and theyre all the people that shoot you those smiles when your around, theyre those people that would walk through hell and beat up satan just to make you happy. just to make you smile. believe me, theyre out there. Im sorry that all of these nice people, loving people, have to go through this. stay strong, not just for eric, but for you.

i feel bad, not getting to know you. We met a few times but not a lot. there is this song that i keep hearing in my head that i heard when a friend of mine killed herself a few years back...it's called whole by a band flaw. im not going to bother you with all the lyrics, but the chorus is what means the most and i KNOW that this is what everyone that knew you is thinking right at this moment, and probably will be thinking forever. here it goes:
Then You Came Right In
Tearing Out My Soul
How Could All This Loss
Be Your Only Goal
I`m Left Standing Here
Desperate In The Cold
Since You Took Your Life
Mine Has not Been Whole
-------------------------------------
i'm crying for someone i don't know that well. Eric i hope you realize all that you left behind and all the people that will miss you. people that knew you well, and people that didn't, like me. i always wanted to talk to you, but i guess i was just too shy...i don't know, but now i wish i had.

Reading over the messages left for you, i realized how much people can take for granted. You were loved by so many. People who didnt know you, personaly, even left messages, and that is where i am. Many of my friends did have the plesure of knowing you. it hurts to see them greive like this. it hurts to know that someone who had all these great friends couldnt reach out for just one. also reading the letters i kinda got an idea of what you were like. although its probably not even a fraction close to your true personality i regret not knowing you. i hope you are in a happier place. watching over everyone. we all miss you down here.. regardless of the fact if we knew you or not. you are loved. i wish you could have known that sooner

Dear Eric, i am very sorry. I met you only once or twice and you probably don't remember me. You were such a great guy, and to everyone that knows me this may sound hypocritical, but you had so much to live for, so much to do still. We won't forget you, but I wrote something for you.
I’m Sorry and I Care
By: Veronica Rivera
I’m sorry for the things I’ve said,
And the things I’ve done.
I’m sorry for not being there,
When you had no one.
But now you are gone,
And a millions sorrys won’t bring you back,
I can’t believe you left like this,
Your notes piled in one stack.
Leaving one for your parents,
And one for me.
The last line reading,
“I wasn’t meant to be”.
I didn’t see it coming,
There’s no expression on my face.
I wish you were alive again.
So your pain I could erase.
Yesterdays are over,
Even though the hurting is not.
Nothing lasts forever,
I must cherish what I’ve got.
But all I have that is left of you,
Are the memories and that note.
“I wasn’t meant to be”
Was the final line you wrote.
Friend you have left me,
With nobody around.
I sit here at your grave,
While you’re underneath the ground.
I have never felt so sad,
I shouldn’t have left you alone.
But someday we will meet again,
In a perfect place unknown.
So to my friend I’m sorry,
I wish that you were here.
So I could tell you one last time,
I’m sorry and I care.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have cried for you, and I barely knew you. It saddens me to think somebody that great could do something like this. I am sorry i didnt get to know you better..I hope you are in a better place, Rest In Peace
~love always~

Graf,I am sorry it took me so long to sign this. I had a hard time collecting my thoughts these past few days. It is hard to make sense of all of this. It is hard to see so many people, many who are my friends, depressed and sad. A lot of times when people pass on, the loved ones left behind to pick up the pieces often exaggerate about the good qualities and tend to ignore the bad qualities. This is a rare case because there is truly not anything bad to say about you. Whenever I thought of you I thought of the redhead who was always laughing, always smiling, always trying hard to make everyone else's day better. I wish I was able to see what was going on in the inside and was be there to help you. Probably like a lot of other people, I have a hard time not blaming myself. I remember homecoming when you were not named to court and you looked so disappointed and you said laughingly, like you always do, something to me about how "I guess I'm just not popular" or something to that regard. I wish I would have said something to you about how much everyone loves you, but I didn't. I just laughed with you about it, not thinking you were hurting so much inside. I am truly sorry for that. Sadly, it is all in hindsight. What is done is done, but that doesn't make it any easier for everyone. What I can do now is reflect on the times that we had together and smile. I remember last year at lunch when it was you, me, John Smith, Todd Fitzpatrick, and Jim Thomas and you guys used to always jokingly tell me about how big my head was. Of course, anyone that knows me knows that my shame has been basically reduced to almost nothing after four years at Lincoln-Way and I would always just laugh and insult you guys back. It was all in good fun. I was reading my yearbook from last year and I couldn't help but laugh when I saw what was in there from you: "Joyce lunch again what a time if I tried to write you a note as big as your head the yearbook would have doubled in size tennis is life and your a god <3 Graf" That is pure comedy right there, pure Eric Graf. Although, I'm sure I tried to get you back in your yearbook, but it is really hard to pick something out about you to make fun of. Usually at lunch, I would just go back to the lame red hair jokes as I would be getting teamed up on in all directions and subsequently defeated. I was searching through my hard drive for files I had related to you and I found this:
http://www.quitetheking.net/eric/graf01.mpg
If you look closely at the beginning of this video, you were posing for a picture. That was what made you so great. Always making people smile, even posthumously. I first learned about your death while skimming people's AIM profiles. As I went profile to profile, I felt the greatest fear I had ever felt in my life. My heart was pounding and I was shaking as I sat there refusing to believe it. It had to be a sick joke. It wasn't until I asked Patrizi and she confirmed the bad news that I felt the greatest emotional pain in my life. Sometimes it takes something like this to realize how much you really appreciate your peers. You really were one of the most liked people at Lincoln-Way. I just wish you would have known of this deep appreciation by your friends before you made the decision to end your life. You were probably laughing at me yesterday when I was taking my driving test. Four stop signs (stopping past the sign), 2 speed warnings, and one "left on red" later I was back at the Secretary Of State's Office receiving my receipt. It's ok though, a lot of 17 year olds don't have their licenses. Unfortunately, the majority of them tend to lack the sense of sight. Well, I just wanted to write to let you know that I miss you a lot. To everyone that is hurting right now, it will get better with time. Eric, thanks for the memories and I hope you are in a better place. I'll talk to you later. Love,
Mike Joyce

Wow, thats all i can say. You always were smiling and seemed happy. It's a shame you couldn't see another way. I don't know what to write here, but i felt like I should at least say something. I don't think I have talked to you since 8th grade, but judging from the pics and messages and stuff you seem the same...hilarious and nice. I remember playing football with you everday at recess(until you broke a kid's collar-bone). My thoughts are with you, and my prayers with your family and friends. godspeed

Eric what do I say. I have known you for a long time. I can't believe that I am even doing this. The things that we did will last in my mind forever. I just can't stop thinking of all the stupid stuff we did, like the time we were shooting the rockets off in your shed, or the time we decided that we should all sleep outside in the tents, or who could forget the late night trips to sportmart, just to name a few. But Eric we always had fun together and I am going miss you very much, you were one of a kind and that is what made you so great, I know there will never be anyone to take your place. So may you rest in peace knowing that we all miss you and that we all love more than you could ever imagine. I miss you Eric we had some great times and all I can do know is say thanks for the memories. I miss you Eric Graf and I always will.

Eric, man... What is there to say? You were one of the nicest guys I knew. As soon as I met you, I could tell you were a great guy. No matter what I did or said, you always took it in stride, and you never were the one to say anything bad to or about me. The simple fact is I just can't believe you're gone... I can't tell you how many times I've thought about doing exactly what you have, and you should be the one to know that you've saved my life, Eric. It's amazing how many people miss you, how many people are never going to forget you. I realize now that no matter how hard things get, there are always those that love us and will help. Thank you, Eric... you've truly touched me and my life. Your smile, your laugh, your hair and your stupid, but funny, jokes are just the tip of the
iceberg when I think of you and remember.Maybe in another life
I could find you there
Pulled away before your time
I can't deal it's so unfair And it feels like
Heaven's so far away
Yeah it feels like
The world has grown cold
Now that you've gone away Leaving flowers on your grave
Show that I still care
But black roses and Hail Mary's
Can't bring back what's taken from me I reach to the sky
And call out your name
And if I could trade
How I would And it feels like
Heaven's so far away
And it stings
The world is so cold
Now that you've gone away To Eric Graf... may he truly be happy.

Eric,
Such a confusing time for so many people. I hope that you leave a message for people....suicide is just not the answer. i know that you know that now. its just been such a nightmare for so many people. A lot of people say that they commit suicide so that they are forgotten, but thats not what happens. There is not enough that can be said about how good of a person you were and could have been. There is not enough that can be said about the memories and how no one will forget you. There is not enough to be said about the millions of other choices that can be made instead of suicide. im so sorry that you couldnt see another way out, look at how many people were here for you. i hope people learn from your life eric, and i hope you are in a better place now.your friend,
chad

wow... where do i even start eric? first of all i want u to know how much i miss u already. we were never that close but you are all i've been able to think about these past few days. i think about how everyone is going to be diffrent now that you are gone, but then i think about how everyone is diffrent because you were here... you made people laugh like no one else could and thats one thing i will never forget about u. we will all move on from here but take a little bit of the smiling red head with us everywhere we go. i'm sure that u are looking down from heaven at your family and friends right now and helping them get through this becuase i know how much pain they are in right now and they sure could use a little help from you. i know that you are in a better place and i hope that u are happy. Im sure heaven needed a guy like u eric because u were truly one in a million. until we meet again
love you

You dont know me, and unfortunetly i havent had the pleasure to get to know you. But here i am signing this, just proving the point that you really did touch so many lives. I, like many other people when they heard the news, looked you up in the yearbook. And i honestly didnt recognize you. Yet i heard and read more about you, peoples stories and their profiles online. And i found this site, and i seen your picture at the top. And i do recognize you. I have seen you in the hall a few times, always with a smile. I read everything that was written about you too. And i do think it was unfortunate that i never got 2 meet you. You really seemed to brighten everyone's day. Heaven is lucky to have you up there. Just do us all a favor and watch over us.

Although I only met you this year, I cant even express in words how honored I was to have known you. You could light up a room in an instance...it was like magic because it simply cant be explained. I dont have a lot of memories, but what comes to mind when i hear your name is how you would crack a joke in English class, and then across the room 10 minutes later I would still be laughing, and then you would look at me and then you would get that big smile on your face and just start laughing again. I only wish I had the privelage of getting to know you better because by the look of it, not one person in this world was against you. It may not have seemed like it at the time, but we were all on your side. I simply cant get over the fact that i am going to school on monday, and when I turn around to start up a chat w/ you in English that you wont be there to talk back. Thanks for bringing so much of your lively spirit into mine and everyone else around you. You will NEVER be forgotten. Rest in Peace, take care, and see ya LATER.

Dear Eric, Although I only started hanging out with you this year (because of mutual friends) I am still tremendously impacted by your death. Some of your best friends are my best friends, and jeez Eric, it hurts so badly to see their pain and know that there is little I can do. The only real comfort is knowing that somehow, in some way, you have touched and made a difference in so many peoples lives- and if you can do that than I think that it means you have truly succeeded in life. Everyone will carry on a little piece of you Eric. To me, you were that hilarious kid who could make anyone smile. You made Miss Goldie's first hour english class entertaining, made our second hour gym class better than it already was, and you were always, ALWAYS, the life of the party. I have some great memories and I thank you so much for them. I feel privileged to have gotten to know you this year. Rest assured that there will never be a day when we are not reminded of you. We all love and miss you immensely, but in our hearts we know that you are in a better place now. Rest in peace Eric. So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
Blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have you found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here. With love, Allison Menozzi

Eric-man i cant believe it. I went into work today and just looked at all the things we destroyed. Like the one night for some reason you me and will, were all closing and you guys were trying to snort pixie sticks. And when we were closing up and there was some dude still in the porn room. After you went and told him to get out i came back towards the room and sure enough track star eric came sprinting out of studio eighteen and full out speared me into the monster s inc standup tearing it in half. Then i chased you into the back room and you barracaded yourself in there. You lifted the ceiling panel just right so all i could see your hair in all its glory and that goofy grin on your face that you always got when you became invincable. Now i cant even go into work with out all the memories coming back to me. and it hurts a lot. Man i just wish we could have done something, there is no way that this is how is was supposed to end. not here. i miss you man. u were just the nicest person always have something to say. When i got the news it was just disbelief. Everbody loves you man. I'll see you when i get there. Jake

Eric Graf--I dont think Ive ever talked to you...The first time I heard the news, your name sounded so familiar. I thought about it for a minute and realized that my boyfriend had mentioned your name quite a few times. Tonight, my boyfriend called me and said "I have some tragic news, something terrible has happened to one of my good friends." And I already knew about it, but it hit me hard knowing that he was close to you and that he was so upset about this loss. Its not everyday someone amazing is taken away like this. Well, I couldnt help but notice the constant struggle he was having as he was talking to me about this tragedy. Now, you know Cam-he never ever shows any emotion...and Eric-he misses you soo much. I know I didnt know you...Ive met you ONE time...and I dont have any memories with you...not even a "Hello." But what I do have is a lot of upset friends...who are at a loss of words, in shock, scared to face tomorrow b/c it's going to be so hard for all of them to have to let you go...But we ALL know that none of these kids are going to let you go...everyone knows that when someone as obviously awesome as you is taken away that they are never forgotten. My love and prayers go out to your family...your closest friends...your not so close friends...and just every person whose life you touched... I can tell that there are many people who are greatly affected by this...and you know the memories..the laughs..the smiles..Its just sad to see this happen to such a loved person.

Although I never met Eric my heart goes out to all the friends and family. I go to Lockport and as you all probably know we had a terrible accident happen about a month ago. I don't think any of us will ever be the same. And just the other day at Lockport we had an assembly about suicide and it was so sad then just yesterday I hear about this kid at Lincoln Way named Eric Graf.
~Eric you seemed like the coolest person ever- the kinda guy everyone loves- the life of the party. I just wish you would have reached out to someone. You had so many friends... every one of them willing to help. As read the thing people have wrote it makes me wish I knew you. I wish I knew the kid with the big red hair. All of your friends love you and will miss you deeply. Live it up in heaven... say hi to Hilary and Mike 4 me~ you'll love them...

ERIC-I don't even know where to begin with you man... I guess I just don't understand where it all went. All the memories, all the good times, all the great friends you have, I mean there is not one person I have ever talked to that hasn't said the best of things about you. You were an inspiration to all people, the way you treated people, the way you make everyone laugh, the way you cheer people up when they're down. All of these people would have done anything for you because of all you have done for us. You have touched every person that you have had contact with because of your charm and wit and I know you will make Heaven a better place with you up there. Just looking back on all of the memories we have together... starting in 7th grade competing against you in the discus, to chillin at the fort, the crazy stunts you would pull for people, gym class badminton, to tryin to work the circle, I never had a bad experience with you and I'm sure noone else has. It's just so hard for me to come to terms with this, I just think about all of the good things you bring to life and I can't stop crying, and I know that's the same way everyone else feels. You have made such a big impact on my life and I'll never forget anything about you. Keep an eye out on all of us from up there. DUSRIC AND THE CIRCLE FOREVER.

you spend all your time waiting
for than second chance
for a break that will make it okay
there's always some reason
to feel not good enough
and it's hard at the end of the day
i need some distraction
oh beautiful release
memories seep from my veins
let me be empty
oh and weightless then maybe
i'll find some peace tonight
in the arms of the angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here
so tired of the straight line
and everywhere you turn
there's vultures and thieves at your back
storm keeps on twisting
keep on building the lies
that you make up for all that you lack
it don't make no difference
escaping one last time
it's easier to believe
in this sweet madness
oh this glorious sadness
that brings me to my knees
in the arms of the angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here...the only thing that keeps me going day to day is knowing you're safe and free, and in really good hands i love you and miss you my friend

I don't really know what to say to be totally honest, I was never fortunate enough to personally know Eric. When I found out what had happened, my heart immediately went out to all of those who did. I lost my stepfather to suicide a little over a year ago, so I can relate to how you feel. It isn't fair to lose someone this way, and it hurts a lot. When I found out, I looked Eric up in the yearbook, and when I saw his picture, I thought to myself, "No way, that cannot be the kid with the red hair who's always laughing when I see him in school. It has to be someone else." He ALWAYS had a smile on his face, surrounded by a bunch of friends. But then I came on this website, and I realized it was him. I was saddened to think that Eric thought he had nowhere to go. Please learn from this, that there are always people willing to listen, don't hesitate to ask someone for help if you are having suicidal thoughts. My heart goes out to you in your time of loss. May God watch over all of Eric's family and friends. And know that Eric is watching you, too. You will meet him again in Heaven and you can party with him forever, like it sounds like you often did here.

I can only imagine
what it will be like
when i walk
by your sideI can only imagine
what my eyes will see
when your face
is before me I can only imagine I can only imagine
when that day comes
when I find myself
standing in the sun I can only imagine
when all I'll do
is forever
forever be with you I can only imagine

Eric-
I met you once, i think you were heading to a party with a friend, all i really remember is that you were so nice and that you talked to me and my friends for awhile. I also remember you were wearing one of those plastic st. patrick day's hats and were carrying a snowman...you just seemed like a carefree guy.I wish i would have gotten to known you as a friend, everybody loved you and still does to this day. I wish you would have found someone to talk to you, you didn't deserve that, i just hope you're happy wherever you are...RIP Eric.

Hey Graf~ Well i can't believe it! I never really thought this would happen. You always had a smile on your face no matter what. You were one of my most favorite people in the world and I can't believe you're gone! I could not wait til your b-day so I could get you that nail file you always asked me for. Graf, you will definately be missed and we will always love you. I hope to see you again someday and although it may not be soon it is something I will definately look forward to. R.I.P

Eric man, I know we havent chilled for a few years now, but when we did u always put a smile on my face dawg, u are one funny, crazy mother...I love u man, it didn't have to be like this, I think everbody at LWE loves you and will miss you dearly. You had your entire life ahead of you. Post LW world is in 50 some days man, thats all, you had everything to live for. Its not your fault dawg, its really not, people make decisions sometimes that are like that. You didn't deserve this though man, Nobody would have expected this from you, from Eric freakin Graf. The kid everbody loves. I cannot think of one person that doesn't like you. Your best friends, your not so close friends, would have talked to you no matter what time of day, to help you so u didn't have to go through this. We could have made it...I love u man, RIP...

eric, i dont know you, but i know so many hurt people that do. when i heard the news i was in such shock that this happened at a school i am at, you hear it on the news, happening at other schools and just in shock, but when it happens at YOUR school, its just unbelievable. when i found out that no one knows why, i questioned it too, it was so upset, even though i dont know you, and you probably wouldnt care about a freshman, but it hurt to think about how many people cared and i dont think you realized how many people do care. you will always be in my heart, i hope heaven is finally a good, happy place for you to be. love,

Eric- oh man i just cannot believe this has happened.... im in fl for spring break and i just got the news on my voice mail. I listened to it like three or four times before i believed it.. its just unbelievable, you were such a wonderful person always smiling and happy. i think i have known you since like kindergarten... its crazy cuz we havent talked really since eigth grade outside of school, but not even two weeks ago you came to kellies house and that is the first time ive hung out wit u for a while. You have made an impact on so many ppls lives, when i told my mom she started crying and couldnt belive it.. she remembers all the times she taught us all at fjh and how you always made everyone laugh. You are truely an amazing person and will be missed. I just wish this could have been prevented. rest in peace eric you are missed and loved by all - kim
