Distance takes us far apart and darkens my day, I have to keep remembering your'e just a thought away. When the world is too confusing, and times are hard to bear, I pull your precious meaning, your bright spirit from the air. And sometimes drift into a lonely state of mind, I gather up the memories of the days now left behind. And though your'e not beside me, I can tap into my heart and draw upon the warmth and love that now lives while we're apart. And with these found reflections on the times when you were near, I sense a little bit of what it's like to have you near.You are just a thought away!

When I'm Gone
When I come to the end of my journey. And I travel my last weary mile. Just forget if you can, that I ever Frowned. And remember only the SMILE. Forget the unkind words that I have spoken. Remember some good I have done. Forget that I had heartache. And remember I've had loads of Fun. Forget that I've stumbled and blundered. And sometimes fell away. Remember I have fought some battles. And won, at the close of the day. Then forget to greive for my going. I would not have you SAD for a DAY. But in the summer just gather some flowers. And remember the place where I lay. And come in the shade of the evening. When the sun paints the sky in the WEST. Stand for a few moments beside me. And remember only my BEST!

A word of thanks can hardly say how much your kindness meant today. To be succinct, I must conclude, I'm overwhelmed with gratitude. Thank you for your Generosity to the Brighter Days 'n' Nights Event that was held August 13th, 2011. The proceeds will benefit the U-M Depression Center/Prechter Bipolar Research fund for the Gentics of the Research. (The Need for Answers are Great!)

The BDN event photos are up! Have a look, they are under Event Info/BDN Event Photos!

Through my quest to bring Awareness of this illness! There is alot to be said for people that have experienced depressive episodes, in relation to Thyroid issues/ Once they had the thyroid in check, alot of what they were experiencing had subsided. Point is go to the doctor to get a check up first! And proceed from there. Brighter Days'n' Nights Event that was held on August 29th managed to bring in $10000.00 to be donated to the Genetic Research/Prechter Bipolar Research fund. Thank you again for all of your support! And Generosity! It was a beautiful Event. Beyond what I had imagined.

@ Eric Renaud, Yes I have a BIG plans for the forum in the near future. Keep checking back as I will be adding new subjects as time progresses.
Thank you to everyone that has supported!

Looks like the forum is get a little use thats cool. I hope may be we can help some people vent . this is a great site. Thanks Dan and Sue

Hey Eric,

All of your Mom's hard work paid off last night - It was a great evening, but you know that; we all know you were there with us. Your Mom danced in the rain and rejoiced in the sunbeams. I am so proud to have been a part of it.

Eric, you are missed by so many people; it was evident last night by the number of people who gave so generously, not just monetarily, but the amount of love that was in that room is undeniable.

We are all praying that the funds that were raised, in your name, will help others who suffer from bi-polar; that they will not meet the same destiny that you did.

You remain in the thoughts and prayers of everyone who knew and loved you so very much.

I Love You Cuz’
Elaine

We had a great time last night and were happy to help donate to this benefit. and maybe some day help cure this illness.
I cant wait for the next one! ERIC I ALWAYS THOUGHT YOU BE HERE ! I WAKE UP SOME DAYS AND I SWEAR THERE NO WAY YOUR DEAD NOT ERIC, I MISS THE HELL OUT OF YOU. Your best friend Eric R.

I just had some terrible news today about someone close to me whose partner passed away due to untreated bi-polar disorder. I'm looking forward to this important event and to continue spreading the word to build awareness.

Well son, this is just the beginning to bringing this horriable illness that you dealt with to the world, you are not alone! Through our quest to bring forth Awareness, this has reached Ecuador, Portugal, Thailand. Did you know Eric that there are over 6million people with Bipolar Disorder. It is also hereditary! Its known to skip generations. Through the people that I have reached, I have heard there stories, quite a few have revealed that they have thyroid issues, and this may be one link. I am not sure of that, it is up to the Researchs to discover with there knowledge and neurosciences,& neuroimaging,and genetic testing, they have already had breakthroughs in these fields! the are starting to unvail. I truely beleive that people should first get a complete physical, and proceed from that point, there next step if they still arent feeling right.They should seek the correct doctor.You & I Eric we will work as a team side by side to bring the Awareness in every aspect known to man, with the assistance of Wally Prechter the founder of Bipolar Disorder Research at the University of Michigan Depression Center.And the first in the NATION!

I didnt know Eric,I heard of his mother Sue through a friend and just felt i needed to contact her on face book,I did and know now in my heart I was drawn to her and her son memory for a reason.I truely believe that, rest in peace young Eric,I`m sure we will meet one day

I am so BLESSED to be part of this!!

I think of you all the time, I hope you are a peace and watching over all of us who loved you unconditionally. I am sure you are a shooting star, bright against the black velvet backdrop. . .

Hi Eric,

Eric I would pay 100,000,000,000,000,000 dollars just to see you again, Aunt Sue told me that you are someone acting like god that just sits over us and maybe we cant see you but i no that you can see me and just cry when i listen my friends talk about their relatives and when i hear the name Eric and i just think of you. i will cry in class and my friends will start laughing and i will cry harder about you. i just look and look at pictures of you every day and stare for minutes even hours. and just think what would the world be with you and think that it would be a happy world and that we could do anything. i never saw you very much but when i did i would cherish every moment and just think that you were going to always live together and see eachulder go to the mall or go get a drink one day but now that cant happen but now you will be in a better place. Just think that soon enough we will all be with you and it will be back to the good old wonderful days and we will be like were all still alive and together. soon when i see you up there i will squeeze you till you die again and i will see you again. i dont and could never imagine how your mom feels untill someone in my family dies. whenever i see stevie i try to think of you and it comes and i cry then.

I Will Always Love You
-Tristan Tenaglia (Cousins For Ever)

Eric you were my cousin i no you cant read this but i hope that when i go to heaven i will see you there and i love you when i lokk through pictures of you i will cry and every night i pray for you so just no that i will always love you and am looking forward to seeing you with the big man

Hey there big bro. Sorry I haven't been writing or talking much. It doesn't mean that you're not crossing my mind everyday. It is so hard for me to keep in the tears when I start to think about the moments that were full of fun, adventure, in-depths, and even sadness.... memories. If I could, I would write and talk all day to you, trust me. I've been trying to pray to you everynight. Hopefully you're at least getting those messages. If not, well, I'll give you a little update on what I've been up to. Still working at State Farm Ins. for my dad. You would be amazed with some of the crazy things that happen... seriously! Other than work, I still go to Macomb. HATE IT! Takes up too much of my time, but I guess it all pays off. Oh, and I don't think I told you this, but I got into CMU! I'm pretty excited. Just not too sure what I want to get into anymore. Requires about 5 calc classes and I can barely pass basic math as it is haa. Other than that, I don't have much of a social life anymore, which isn't a bad thing I guess. Keeps me out of trouble :) Anyways, I miss you a lot. Even though I may not write as much as I would like to, Just know that I am thinking about you and that you will always be my big brother. You keep on shining up there big bro and keeping a good eye on your loved ones. We all miss you so much! Talk to you in a few.

Love you Big Bro <3

- Your little sis

ill get it right one of these times!!!!!! great job EVERYONE....vinnyricco

thought of you with love today but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday and the days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories and a picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake, with which I'll never part. God has you in his keeping, I have you in my heart.

Wow I am very sad to hear that Eric passed away. May God rest his soul! This site is amazing!

Sorry I havent been leaving you comments Eric I love you and miss you so much its just really hard for me to do this. I think about you everyday almost every moment I would do anything to see you again. We are trying to get the George George park that we took Kayla to so I hope that all works out. I miss you and love you xoxoxoxoxoxo

So sorry!! My son had bipolar disease also and died at the age of 37. It is a hard, terrible disease.

Aunt Sue,

I am astounded by the way you have received destiny. Eric is with us, in a different way, and this transition which we have experienced affects many people in a way that would leave them powerless. Yet you Aunt Sue have embraced the fate and Eric has become a vehicle for the improvement of lives around the world. You have allowed Eric to change the world and I would say that this is a dream that every human longs to achieve, from the earliest days of life. You and Eric together are a wonderful example of the kindness that still exists in humanity. I love you so much, thank you for being an inspiration to me Aunt Sue. Thank you Eric for sharing your mother with us all!
