My beloved son, my baby, my youngest, my heart and my soul and the most compassionate son a mother could ever ask for. Eric. I love you son I miss you so very much every single day and whoever said it gets easier with the passing of time was so very wrong. Your legacy lives on in our Care Package Project, and I promise you that as long as I am breathing on this earth, I will see to it that you will never be forgotten. You are my hero, my pride and my joy.
RIP Marine, your work on earth is done.

Love always and forever, Mom.
