Michael, Christina,
I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. I was the one that unfortunately saw Eric’s accident and called 911. I was truly praying for him and better news. I immediately researched who he was once I returned home and tried to reach out to him. My heart reaches out to you and your family. I wish you guys all the best.
