    4 This is so hard for me, Eric was my FAVORITE cousin. I pray for JUSTICE for my baby!
    4 When will people realize that the LORD GIVES LIFE, and ONLY HE IS SUPPOSED TO TAKE IT!
    4 Our hearts are so heavy. Eric will FOREVER be missed. I cry myself to sleep EVERY NIGHT!
    3 I just wish I could hear Eric's voice or see his smile again. Lord this is still so hard.
    3 Its one thing to "hear" about someone being murdered, but when it hits home..
    3 I would NEVER wish this heartache upon anybody, to have someone you LOVE killed.

    1 5/4/2018 grow old together. WHOEVER DID THIS TO YOU, it will be hard to forgive because

    1 7/29/18 I never thought at such a young age, I wouldn't be able to call U 2 say HBD. Dee-de

    1 08/13/18 They say no news is good news, but in this case..I NEED TO KNOW WHO DID THIS! DEE-DE
    1 08/13/18 STILL no answers. It's not fair! Dee-de
    1 9/11/18 I believe in GOD, but I also believe in Karma. WHOEVER did this to my cousin,
    1 9/11/18 remember what goes around, comes around, HOWEVER I don't wish
    1 09/11/18 this PAIN and HEARTACHE upon your family because although
    1 09/11/18 I believe in Karma, VENGEANCE IS MINE SAID THE LORD! You may not GET IT
    1 09/11/18 like YOU GAVE IT (by taking my cousin's life)but when
    1 09/11/18 GOD gets thru with you ALL, you'll wish you NEVER touched a GUN! MY COUSIN DIDN'T DESERVE
    1 09/11/18 TO DIE!!! This STILL hurts like hell, like it happened yesterday.
    1 09/11/18 You didn't GIVE life and you had no business TAKING the life of MY COUSIN! Dee-de
    1 09/12/18 OH MY GOD ERIC, JUSTICE HAS BEEN SERVED!! THEY GOT THE MONSTER!
    1 09/12/18 THE MONSTER THAT TOOK YOU FROM US HAS BEEN ARRESTED AND CHARGED WITH CAPITAL MURDER!
    1 09/12/18 THE WOUNDS WERE NEVER CLOSED, AND IT HURTS EVEN MORE JUST KNOWING THAT SOME
    1 09/12/18 FEMALE COULD BE SO EVIL, WICKED, HEARTLESS AND DIRTY! I KNEW THIS DAY WOULD COME,
    1 09/12/18 BECAUSE I'VE NEVER STOPPED PRAYING AND CHECKING WITH THE DETECTIVES, ITS BITTER SWEET
    1 09/12/18 I BELIEVE IN GOD, I HAVE TO CONTINUE TO SAY THIS BECAUSE MY THOUGHTS ARENT GOOD RIGHT NOW!
    1 09/12/18 MY THOUGHTS ARE UNGODLY THOUGHTS BECAUSE THIS MONSTER DIDNT HAVE TO KILL MY COUSIN! DEE-DE
    1 09/12/18 IN THE MIDST OF IT ALL I STILL SAY THANK YOU JESUS FOR THE DETECTIVE THAT VOWED TO ME THAT
    1 09/12/18 THEY WOULDNT ALLOW ERIC'S CASE TO GO "COLD", THEY WOULD DO ALL THAT THEY COULD
    1 09/12/18 I THANK HIM FOR LISTENING TO ME AS I TRIED SOLVING THE CASE AND DON'T EVEN LIVE THERE!
    1 09/12/18 I WANT TO THANK THE NEW DETECTIVE THAT TOOK OVER THE CASE! LORD CONTINUE TO BLESS
    1 09/12/18 AND KEEP THEM ALL SAFE FROM HURT, HARM AND DANGER! DEE-DE
    1 09/12/18 LORD I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! DEE-DE
    1 09/13/18 I guess the healing will now begin.I will NEVER 4get U Eric, NEVER! Dee-de
    1 09/13/18 I keep looking at the MONSTER that killed you, she doesnt even look like
    1 09/13/18 A MURDERER! I WOULD LOVE TO LOOK INTO HER EYES TO TELL HER
    1 09/13/18 HOW MUCH SHE HAS HURT OUR FAMILY! I STILL LOOK AT YOUR OBITUARY
    1 09/13/18 EVERYDAY BECAUSE IT'S RIGHT BESIDE MY BED. JUST KNOWING YOUR NOT HERE
    1 09/13/18 CROSSES MY MIND DAILY. I LOVED YOU IN LIFE AND I STILL LOVE YOU IN DEATH
    1 09/13/18 GOD IS GOING TO PROVIDE THE PEACE THAT WE ALL NEED BECAUSE WE
    1 09/13/18 ARE ALL IN OUR FEELINGS AGAIN! I PROMISE THIS GIRL HAS BEEN CALLED
    1 09/13/18 EVERY UNGODLY NAME IN THE BOOK BECAUSE OF OUR HURTING HEARTS,
    1 09/13/18 GOD KNOWS WE ARE HURTING AND THATS WHY I KNOW HE'S GOING TO HAVE
    1 09/13/18 TO HELP US THROUGH THIS PART TOO! DEE-DE
    1 09/17/18 I guess when she pulled the trigger she didn't think that you were someones: HUSBAND
    1 09/17/18 FATHER, SON, BROTHER, NEPHEW, BARBER, FRIEND, CLASSMATE, STEP FATHER,
    1 09/17/18 AND MY COUSIN!! God knows this is STILL puzzling, but just knowing that JUSTICE
    1 09/17/18 IS GOING TO BE SERVED, GIVES US A SIGH OF RELIEF. NOW OUR PRAYERS ARE
    1 09/17/18 THAT YOU AND ANYONE ELSE THAT WAS INVOLVED, NEVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY OUTSIDE OF
    1 09/17/18 THE CAGE THAT YOU DESERVED TO BE LOCKED IN FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE! GOD
    1 09/17/18 GAVE HIM LIFE, NOT YOU AND ONLY GOD WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKE IT AWAY! I PRAY THAT
    1 09/17/18 MY COUSIN'S HANDSOME FACE WILL FOREVER BE ETCHED IN YOUR MEMORY AND EVERYTIME
    1 09/17/18 YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES, YOU SEE MY COUSIN'S FACE! NOW WHAT I WILL PRAY FOR
    1 09/17/18 IN REFERENCE TO YOU, IS THAT YOU NEVER HAVE TO LOSE A FAMILY MEMBER TO GUN
    1 09/17/18 VIOLENCE, I WOULDNT WISH THAT UPON MY WORST ENEMY AND RIGHT NOW THAT WOULD
    1 09/17/18 FROM US! LORD KNOWS THAT WE NEED MORE STRENGTH DURING THIS PROCESS
    1 09/18/18 LOVE YOU ERIC, ALWAYS WILL. DEE-DE
    1 09/20/18 I LOVE YOU ERIC, LOVE YOU SO MUCH! DEE-DE
    1 09/21/2018 LOVE YOU ERIC...DEE-DE
    1 09/22/2018 LOVE YOU ERIC! DEE-DE
    1 09/23/2018 LOVE YOU ERIC. DEE-DE
    1 09/24/2018 LOVE AND MISS YOU IMMENSELY! DEE-DE
    1 09/26/18 I WISH YOU DIDN'T HAVE A MEMORIAL PAGE, I WISH YOU WERE HERE
    1 09/26/18 I WISH I COULD CALL YOU TO HEAR YOUR VOICE, TO HEAR THAT FUNNY LAUGH
    1 09/26/18 I REALLY DO MISS YOU ERIC, IT WASNT SUPPOSE TO BE THIS WAY! DEE-DE
    1 11/15/18 WHOA, I'VE MISSED A WHOLE MONTH! I APOLOGIZE COUSIN! STILL MISSING YOU! DEE-DE
    1 11/15/18 EVEN THO, THEY FOUND THE MONSTER THAT MURDERED YOU,I'M STILL PRAYING FOR JUSTICE! DEE-DE
    1 11/15/18 JUSTICE FOR ME, WOULD BE A LIFE FOR A LIFE, HOWEVER THEY WANT TO DO IT, BUT HER DYING WOULD
    1 11/15/18 BE TOO EASY, I THINK SHE NEEDS A LIFETIME IN JAIL TO SIT AND THINK ABOUT HOW SHE
    1 11/15/18 HAS DESTROYED A WHOLE FAMILY BY TAKING SOMEONE WHO WE LOVED AND CHERISHED SO MUCH!
    1 11/15/18 THIS WAS PROBABLY NOT THE 1ST TIME SHE HAS KILLED SOMEONE, SHE JUST PROBABLY GOT CAUGHT!
    1 11/15/18 SO THAT NO OTHER FAMILY HAS TO GO THROUGH ALL THE PAIN AND HEARTACHE , I PRAY THAT
    1 11/15/18 THIS EVIL, WICKED, INHUMANE MONSTER ROTS IN JAIL!! I'M NOT A MEAN PERSON AT ALL, BUT
    1 11/15/18 THIS IS COMING FROM A PLACE OF HURT BECAUSE MY COUSIN'S LIFE WAS PRICELESS AND FOR
    1 11/15/18 THIS MONSTER TO "EASILY" PULL A TRIGGER, SHOOT AND KILL MY COUSIN FOR A LITTLE
    1 11/15/18 CHANGE, BURNS MY SOUL! I DON'T CARE IF SHE WAS A DOPE/CRACK HEAD, DON'T
    1 11/15/18 DON'T START A HABIT THAT YOU CAN'T SUPPORT AND FUND ON YOUR OWN!! I
    1 11/15/18 I JUST WANT JUSTICE FOR YOU ERIC, I JUST WANT JUSTICE! DEE-DE
    1 12-11-18 I haven't been on here in a while, but there has been so much going on with Grandma
    1 12/11/18 She's 91 and she's doing the best she can Eric, sometimes it gets rough because
    1 12/11/18 of her illness, however God is still keeping our baby. LOL That's all she is a 91
    1 12/11/18 year old spoiled baby and I LOVE HER SOOOO MUCH!! I still think of you EVERYDAY
    1 12/11/18 Eric!! I still wish you were here with us, but since you're not, just continue to be our
    1 12/11/18 Guardian Angel, especially for Grandma! I love and miss you so much!
    1 12/11/18 I was just in Little Rock over the weekend and I've actually had no desire to go
    1 12/11/18 back to Little Rock every since we lost you. I only went because CJ's football
    1 12/11/18 team made it to state. All I thought about was how it would have been nice to call
    1 12/11/18 you to come meet us or even if we had of drove over the night before and stayed the
    1 12/11/18 night with you, so that we could have been already there for Saturday, but because
    1 12/11/18 of some FOOL with a gun, I wasnt able to make that call to you. I miss you Eric and
    1 12/11/18 that will NEVER change! MAYBE, just MAYBE if the Lord had of given us a BIGGER
    1 12/11/18 family, the sting of your death would be just a little easier to get over,but the FACT
    1 12/11/18 that we don't have a big family at all, honey this VOID is HARD TO HANDLE! It's
    1 12/11/18 so easy to FEEL your absence. YOU WERE MY FAVORITE COUSIN, and you knew
    1 12/11/18 it! We grew up in grandma's house together, she had you just as spoiled! LOL
    1 12/11/18 Well I guess I'll stop talking. I wish you could get my messages somehow..
    1 12/11/18 WISHFUL THINKING...I LOVE YOU ERIC, ALWAY HAVE, ALWAYS WILL! DEE-DE
    1 2/14/19 I've got some catching up to do Eric! I havent been on in a while, but PLEASE don't
    1 2/14/19 EVER think that I'm not thinking of you! NO MATTER HOW BUSY MY LIFE MAY BECOME,
    1 2/14/19 YOU WILL ALWAYS BE A CONSTANT THOUGHT, UNTIL THE END OF MY TIME HERE ON EARTH
    1 2/14/19 HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO YOU MY DEAR, DEAR COUSIN! I WOULD JUST LIKE
    1 2/14/19 TO THINK THAT YOU'RE STILL AS CHARMING IN HEAVEN AS YOU WERE ON EARTH!
    1 2/14/19 TODAY, WE ARE CELEBRATING OUR GRANDMA'S 92ND BIRTHDAY! I KNOW YOU WOULD BE HERE TO HELP
    1 2/14/19 US CELEBRATE THE GREAT LADY THAT RAISED YOU! SHE WOULD HAVE YOU LAUGHING
    1 2/14/19 JUST LIKE SHE HAS ME ALL OF THE TIME! I LOVE YOU ERIC AND I STILL MISS YOU LIKE CRAZY!
    1 2/14/19 I won't allow another long period to pass without me logging on to say something to you
    1 2/14/19 it's like a little CONNECTION that I have going for MYSELF to cope. I LOVE YOU DEAR COUSIN
    1 2/14/19 AND I ALWAYS WILL!! HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! DEE-DE
    1 3/6/19 Well it's March. The 28th of this month will be 2 years that a MONSTER decided to play
    1 3/6/19 GOD and take you away from us!! I MISS YOU SO MUCH ERIC! Your smile, your
    1 3/6/19 LAUGH, your charm, and overall GREAT PERSONALITY is missed! I should say
    1 3/6/19 that you're in the safest place ever...BUT, I would still rather have you here. I know it's
    1 3/6/19 not my call, BUT IT WASN'T THE MONSTER'S CALL EITHER THAT PULLED THAT TRIGGER!
    1 3/6/19 I just refuse to believe that it was YOUR time...because the LORD wouldnt have taken
    1 3/6/19 you that way! A LOWDOWN, TRIFFLING, HEARTLESS COWARD TAIL THIEF took you
    1 3/6/19 away from people that LOVED YOU SO MUCH, and for THAT REASON ALONE, I AM
    1 3/6/19 STILL PISSED! YOU DIDN'T DESERVE TO BE KILLED ERIC! God in heaven knows
    1 3/6/19 I'm one of the most loving people you will run into, however the MONSTER that took
    1 3/6/29 your life is where my LOVE RUNS COLD!! WHATEVER HAPPENS TO HER, SHE DESERVES
    1 3/6/19 and my prayer is that JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED IN JESUS NAME!! People are going
    1 3/6/19 to have to be PUNISHED to the FULLEST for what they do, but I tell you what, IF THE
    1 3/6/19 LAW DOESNT DO THE RIGHT THING, THE LORD WILL AND WE THE FAMILY OF
    1 3/6/19 ERIC GAVIN BELIEVE WHOLE HEARTEDLY THAT IF THE LAW WON'T DO IT'S JOB,
    1 3/6/19 THE GOD WE SERVE WILL TAKE CARE OF ALL EVIL, SO WHOA UNTO THE DEMONS
    1 3/6/19 THAT THINK THAT YOU CAN GET BY WITH BEING A MURDERER.. I PRAY THE
    1 3/6/19 WRATH OF GOD UPON YOU!! I will stop there, because I feel my energy going to
    1 3/6/19 another level. Eric, I will CONTINUE to think of you EVERYDAY, you were the BEST COUSIN EVER!
    1 3/6/19 CONTINUE to watch over us from heaven Babes and again I will say that I LOVED
    1 3/6/19 YOU IN LIFE AND I LOVE YOU IN DEATH! REST ON DEAR COUSIN, I'LL SEE YOU
    1 3/6/19 WHEN I GET THERE. DEE-DE
    1 3/13/19 This world just isn't safe anymore Eric! We are constantly losing people in our
    1 3/13/19 community to gun violence!! Everytime I hear about it, I think of the victim
    1 3/13/19 as well as the family that are left here with all of the questions as to WHY!!!??
    1 3/13/19 It's mind blowing how people are so quick to grab these darn GUNS! I AM PRAYING
    1 3/13/19 DAILY FOR TOUGHER GUN LAWS, BECAUSE THESE PEOPLE SEEM TO
    1 3/13/19 IGNORE THE FACT THAT NOBODY DESERVES TO BE KILLED!! ITS AS IF
    1 3/13/19 NOBODY HAS A HEART NOWADAYS AND I'M SICK OF IT! I LOVE YOU ERIC
    1 3/13/19 AND I COULD SAY AT LEAST YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ANYMORE BECAUSE
    1 3/13/19 YOU'RE SAFE, WHICH IS TOTALLY TRUE, HOWEVER, YOUR DEATH WASN'T SUPPOSED
    1 3/13/19 TO BE AT THE HAND OF MAN....AND A LOWDOWN WOMAN AT THAT! LOVE YA COUSIN
    1 3/13/19 AND I'M STILL FOREVER THINKING ABOUT YOU! DEE-DE
