On July 28, 2011 my son Eric was murdered on a Brooklyn sidewalk by 3 teenagers as he was walking to the store to buy cigarettes. Eric was a loving son (my teddy bear) and wonderful brother and friend. He was a talented tattoo artist who friends loving referred to as “Beast”. Eric had a warm heart and showed this by always looking out for his family and friends. I miss him so much! No mother should have to endure the endless pain that comes with receiving that fateful phone call.
I believe that everyone who has been affected in some way with tragedy as a result of gun violence should join together and bring attention to this growing epidemic of children killing children. Let’s make America a safe place for our children!
My life will never be the same without my brother Eric. It’s crazy how life just doesn’t feel worth living once you lose someone so special to you. Each day that goes by the pain just seems to grow stronger and your mind goes crazy trying to find an answer to why this would happen to your loved one. Everyday I wake up wishing it was all just a long nightmare and hoping i will get a chance to see and hug my brother again but then reality hits and I know in my heart it won’t happen this lifetime. I Miss You Eric! More than you could ever know
