Dear Hayley,
Of course we remember you and going to your birthday party at your house. I am sorry you found out about Erik through someone else, it must have been a shock for you. Erik fought bravely to live but the cancer was diagnosed too late.
Thank you for your condolences, Erik will always live in our hearts and minds and the hearts and minds of all who knew him.
Love,
Denise, Johan, Aimee xxx
Dear Johan, Denise and Aimee,
I don't know if you remember me, but I was one of Erik's primary school friends, and was in on-and-off contact with Erik throughout highschool. I learnt of Erik's passing in July this year, when I wondered why I hadn't received an email from him for a while. I was very upset to learn this and am very sorry for your loss. I still remember the birthday parties we had together and still have the present he gave me for my 12th birthday, and the picture he gave me when he left Hawkesbury Independent. I want you to know that my family and I are thinking of you always
Much love, Hayley xxx
Denise, Johann and Aimee, our hearts are heavy with the loss of your son Erik. Tom is part of the year 12 group and came thru with him from Hobartville. As a mother I can only try to imagine your sadness and struggle that you have all endured and now Erik after having to fight such a hard battle has had to leave us all. It could have been any of our children which is so hard to contemplate. It shouldn't be like this having to say goodbye to your ckild.
How hard it is to part with those we hold on earth so dear, The heart no greater trial knows, no sorrow more severe.
"Those we love don't go way, they walk beside us everyday. Unseen, unheard, but always near, still loved, stil missed and very dear" From our family to yours we wish you Hope for each morning, Strength for each day and Peace for each night.
With love Vicki, Andrew, Tom and Laura Roberts.............xoxoxo
Dear Johan, Denise & Aimee
We have just come back from our holidays and were deeply saddened to learn of dear Erik loosing his battle!! We had all hoped dearly that Erik would have had more success with the overseas treatment. Our hearts are deeply weighed down. The love you showed to your sick son was that of outstanding measure. You have done all you could and what a wonderful example you set for many. You will have many wonderful memories of Erik and the loads of fun you shared with him over the years. Treasure these and keep them forever dear as we feel sure that you will do. Its been a long tough haul for the three of you and ofcourse Erik himself. Rest up, continue to love & live, time will provide peace & comfort and a smile will return when you quietly as a family, remember him.
We send you our love & greetings
Your friends
Martin & Mieke Eelman.

Beste Hausoul familie, Wij hoorden pas van jullie toen er bij de brandweer Maastricht gevraagd werd voor een uitwisseling naar Australie, omdat jullie hier in Nederland zouden komen voor de verdere behandeling van jullie zoon en broer Erik. Helaas hoorde we heel kort daarna het tragische bericht dat Erik de strijd had verloren. Hier zijn totaal geen woorden voor, maar toch willen wij jullie laten weten dat zo een bericht je niet los laat, ook al sta je ver van elkaar af. Het is zo oneerlijk dat iemand nog zo jong en in de bloei van zijn leven uit dit leven wordt weggerukt. Wij willen jullie heel veel sterkte en kracht toewensen bij het verwerken van dit verlies.
Dear Hausouls Family, I am a friend of Hannah Millington and she told me about your son. I have spent the past few hours going through your web site. Eric was an amazing young man with such a wonderful and loveing family. I am truly sorry for your loss and want you to know you are in my thoughts and prayers. May Eric rest in peace and be with the Angels. All my love Julia xxxx
