There are no words that anyone can say to you that will make things better, but the love and caring of others does bring great comfort. I want you all to know that my thoughts and prayers are with you all, every single one of you. If there is absolutely anything I can do for anyone, just let me know. Everyone in our family is praying for you all. John Eric was special and I will always remember him. He was one of a kind. You guys were all a second family to me for a long time and I love you all no matter what. Just remember, when you feel you have come to the end of your rope, God is there to take over.

I wanted to thank everyone for their condolences. My brother had a lot of friends and people who cared about him. There wasnt anyone like John Eric and there is no words to explain how our family is going through. I love my brother very much and its very comforting to know how much he was loved by so many friends. I just hope and pray that God will help us through this time and bless our family and friends.

To the dear family of John Prichard. I felt the pain of your loss so much I could hardly speak when I read about it. Your son and my son were friends. They also played football together at Boyd County. My precious son, Timmy Erwin, was killed in an automobile accident on Little Garner Road on Sept 1, 2003. He left behind so much love, that he is always on my mind and forever in my heart, as I am sure you will find as time passes. I know as so many will not, the long dark road you will walk..I hope you have our savior and your church family to assist you. It will soon be Timmy's birthday. ON this day i travel to the football field alone and can see him there smiling at me. I go to the Little League field where he played baseball for so many years and I see him there, plain as day. What I am trying to say is he is still there where those happy memories are and always in your heart. The world will never know the tears that a mother cries for her baby no matter how old he is. I will pray for you and i will cry for you. I love you because we are now sisters who share a bond i would not wish upon anyone. I read that John left behind children. You are so lucky to have this. I always thought that my son would have given me a pistol of a grandson if the time had been right. He was only 25 years old. John's friend, Austin Kirk, wrote me the nicest message after i lost him. Never got a chance to thank him but please let him know that it was one of the most special letters that i received. You are on my mind and I will pray for you..Gail Erwin Dillon (Timmy's Mom).

John was a young man who I worked with in the mines.He was a fine a young man as I was ever around.He was always happy and smiling and never ever got mad.I found it an honor to have known him.His friendship with Austin Kirk is what brought him to our job.For that very unique friendship,is something very few people ever attain and I thank the Lord for that friendship because that is what brought us all together at Meadowfork Mining.My heart goes out to all of his family and Austin.The good book says a friend sticketh closer than a brother and Austin and John showed me that and it will forever be in my heart.
