Eric wrote the following poem after learning about Angelyne's deafness.  He reads and dedicates it in presentations for the deaf and hard of hearing:

The Quiet Room     
 
To most it may seem like I exist with no sound
I do not live in a quiet room, I’m always abound
My world is full of laughter, senses and sight
Like you I have many experiences and daily delight
I do not lack anything for which I need to grow
I may not hear like you but I learn all I’m supposed to know
I hear with my eyes, my heart and my touch
I experience life with undeniable zest and with so much
Do not see me as different, special or with sadness
My world is full of amazement, light and gladness
When we see each other let us know we’re both ok
We will always see each other in our own unique way
We can both live, learn and exist the same
Neither you nor I live in a quiet room
