what's next
They let me out of the hospital last Thursday. But this morning I woke up again and I just couldn’t catch my breath. The cancer is spreading very quickly. The doctor told me to prepare for the end and so we are. They want me to talk to one more doctor in Denver to see if there would be any hope left for a new treatment but the chance of this would be slim. I have contacted my family and they are heading out to say their goodbyes. This last growth of cancer has been so fast. We had a talk with the kids about what happens next and explained things as much as we can. Please keep them in your prayers as they are going to have a hard time in the near future. -Eric

Eric,
Your hands are clean and your heart is pure. Indeed, you are returning with honor. The Savior promised that He would not leave us comfortless. Though our hearts are heavy and tears fill our eyes, we are confident that His healing power will rest upon Monica, your children, your parents and family. We love you and are extremely proud of your faith and courage. May God be with us all until we meet again.
Love,

Eric and Monica,
I have been so touched by your strength to go through this for two years. You have passed the test. They say that there are angels all around you to help you. I pray that your room will over flo with angels we can see and those that some of can't. I pray for save trips for all your familyies coming and going. Hug each other the memory will last and be of such warmth. Love to you and your family. Debbie
Eric,
I'm afraid I don't know what to say in a situation like this, so I'll just free-wheel it.
Over the past 3 years, I've marveled at your positive outlook and refusal to back-down in the face of such terrible obstacles. You've faced this with such courage and determination, it's inspirational.
Best wishes to your and your family, buddy. I'm thinking of you.
Mike
Eric,
I want to thank you for being such a wonderful example to everyone around you. You have inspired me to be a better person, to face adversity with the sure knowledge of the gospel and to serve those around me with a sincere heart. I'm thankful for the opportunity to have gotten to know you and Monica and your sweet family. They will always be yours. We love you and look forward to meeting you again.
Hatch,
This news is tough to take. You've been the best friend a guy could have. You will be greatly missed. We'll do the best we can in this fight until we can meet up with you again on the other side. I am forever grateful for all the times we shared together and look forward to more. I can only hope to do as well as you have done. God speed.

For those who have been following Eric's fight against lung cancer, you will be sadden to know he lost his fight this morning.
