In loving memory of our son and brother Eric J. Clauser who passed away five years ago today, November 5, 2002

Have you ever lost a loved one

who was very dear to you?

One you loved so very much,

and miss him like we do.

Have you ever had the heartache

or even felt the pain,

or shed those bitter tears

that drop like falling rain?

If you've never had this feeling

then we pray you never do,

For when God takes your first born son

He takes a part of you.
