My deepest condolences Monique, I am so sorry to hear this.
I just read Eric's obit. It is really cute that you two met playing EverQuest. He was clearly incredibly smart (I'm from Boston, my grandfather went to MIT and my girlfriend just got into MIT). Nerdy, goofy sense of humor, dog-lover, passion and creativity across a variety of interests - it's clear that he was an amazing person, and I would have really liked him if we had met. Again, I am so sorry.
