Eric Elias Obituary

I wish to express my gratitude and appreciation to everyone for their many expressions of sympathies in the form of prayers, attending the visitation, phone calls, cards and by visiting.



All of the kindness, words of comfort, hugs and giving me a shoulder when I needed it. The love and caring I have felt from everyone has been a great comfort.



All our memories of Eric as a child, a teenager and then a man, I believe will comfort us in the days, weeks, months and years to come. Eric will be greatly missed. As long as we remember him, he'll always be a part of us and in our hearts, he'll never truly be gone.



I'll never be able to fully express in words what it has meant to us to have your love and support, thank you.



Love always,

The kids and I want to send our deepest sympathies to your loss. No words can be written or said, but we too know this type of pain. They say time will heal but that is slow in passing. The unanswered questions nag at us all the time, yeah you know the big one, why?

The one thing I did learn is, he will be at your side all the time. Watch for the little signs, they will appear. The strange occurances will tip you off, pennies apprearing, twinkles when you close your eyes, at least those have been some of ours. Keep tuned in and you will recognize them. Don't discount them, there are real.

Again, your in our hearts and thoughts.

We would of been at the services but we just found out. Again our hearts go out to you.

Something I did not forget to do but wanted a seperate entry for, just as I'm sure Eric would, was to thank my family. Mom and Dad has done the world over for Eric and I. We lived with them for 9 1/2 years after we were married. We were suppose to be there for 6 months to a year but it was too comforting and nice to Eric. He did not want to leave because he knew he was loved and I was taken care of when he wasn't around. There are too many, way too many, fun times to describe about my families past with Eric. I would take up this entire web-site. But the main thing is I thank you mom and Dad and the rest of the family for being who you all were to us. You all have a very special place in Eric's heart that will never be gone as I'm sure he has one in yours. We love you and Thank you for everything. And Dozer, he loves you so much he cannot wait to spend time with you again. He's saving a place right on his upper porch.

I want to thank everyone for attending Eric's service. He would be so proud and impressed at the turn out of loving, caring people and a ton of family from all sides. It is hard for me to explain how our relationship was to people who were unfamiliar but it was the best 15 years of our lives. Eric was a great man who cared about me with no limits. We were more then husband and wife. We were unbelieveable best friends. I don't know how my life will be from here, but I will spend everyday the way Eric would have wanted me to. I will be strong and think about him 27/7 for the rest of my life. A big part of me is gone but the part that remains is a majority of what Eric made me into. I thank his mother & father for the wonderful gift they gave to me and the rest of the family he grew up with for making him what he was. The Cicero families for taking us in and turning us into what we were. He will always be remembered and loved by all of you and cherished forever by me. I thank you all again for sharing those heart filled hours with me and Eric for the last time.

Love you all very much.

God bless Eric and the family that loved him so dearly. Know that Eric will forever be present in your hearts, a place to hold and cherish him always.

Our Deepest Sympathy,

Hilda Jovicevic and Family

To All the People Who Have Been Touched By Eric’s Life

You may not know it, but somehow each and everyone one of you have been touched by Eric’s life. That was a gift from God. It may not seem fair to us, but only God knows when it’s your time. It may seem premature for Eric, but only God knew his time.



What’s important is that we all remember the times and thank God for giving us the time we had with him. The pleasure to know a Great Man who’s love for his wife shined Ever So Brightly. We all take away from this memories and the understanding that life is ever so precious. If we could all lead our lives in the way Eric did with Great Love and Respect for the people we love we will be fortunate.



We pray that God will give Jennifer, her parents, and Eric parents the strength to get through this time. The strength to understand how fortunate they are to have had him in there lives, and the strength to believe that God loves them. Words cannot express our deepest condolences.



All Of Our Love

Auntie,

There are many things that i could say to you in a situation like this but any words couldn't make you feel any better and thats understandable. we all go through things in our lives that make us have doubts in others and ourselves, that make us think twice about the choices we make, and what the consequences will be for everything we do. after the death of someone who you love unconditionaly, it's like you lose a part of yourself. don't ever lose faith! because if you lose all hope, you really don't have much left. but you know what... i have faith in you auntie! look around... look at how many people are here for you, and what they are willing to do for you. even when you feel alone just knowing that someone in the world loves you no matter what means a whole lot. i believe that uncle eric was an angel here on earth and heaven just ran short so they called one of the best. to make a long story short, your my favorite aunt. i would get on my hands and knees and take millions of risks just to know that in the end you'll be okay. i hate to see you cry and feel alone, just have faith and never doubt those around you. we all love you so so much and nothing could ever replace that feeling. eric will always be in our hearts and in our prayers... i love you auntie! *mucho mucho*!!

My Cousin Eric



People never knew just how much he meant to us.

They knew him by name, but it's still not the same

His eyes so bright, his smile so wide and now he's gone from me and you .We loved him, he loved us. And we have to try not to fuss.He said goodbye and all we can do is reminis. Why does God take the best to love Up to that great big world up above?His memory will never leave His kind and gentle smile will always be seen. Never forget him, never let him leave your mind Tell him you love him, just one more time.

Love you always,

My beautiful Niece:



There are no words that I or anyone can say to ease the pain you have in your heart. Time will soften your pain but the love and happy memories of you and Eric will always remain. You are a very lucky young lady to have such loving parents and family that love you so much. Hey, but who couldn't love you you're so damn cute. Guess you took that after ME!! Always remember that I am here if you ever want to talk or need to get away. I love you.
