In Memory of Eric Joseph Dillinger

Eric, Man.... I wish u were here... It hurts so bad. Very seldom do we come across people like u in life that just make any situation better. You had that gift, that specialty that made u who u were. Your like no other bro.... All the Friday night football games, all the "SHARKS", all the highschool memories. The good times man, the good times. You'll always be missed. And even though it may just be memories from here on, Those memories are some of the most valued moments in ones life. There whats left. How we live on with u, yet how we live on without you. They give us the strength to get through those days of sorrow and pain. Because one memory is better then not being given the chance to have any memories at all. We WILL meet again my friend... This I believe. We love u Eric... Rest In Peace

We're never ready to say goodbye To someone we hold so dear. If it were up to us, oh Eric, We'd always keep you here. But God has reasons of His own And plans we do not know, And these are always for our good Though it may seem not so. Our arms are empty, and our hearts Are filled with tears and grief, For we who loved each day with you Now find those days too brief. Yet if only we could heaven see We'd know you're happy there. And we would never call you back When such great joy you share. And so we'll trust you to God's great care And know some day, once more, We'll hold you to our hearts again When we reach heaven's shore.

Been over a year, pain still there. We love you Eric.
