“Eric was the sweetest and kindest man, but he was like that as a boy. I always admired his ability to smile just about always. Later on after high school, Eric and Sandy lived in the apartment above me. I was a single mom at that time and he would lean over his back porch and ask if everything was going ok. I never forgot that and never will. I will say the same thing that a lot of people are saying that Eric and Sandy are together again.......this time forever.”
