And then, in the middle of all that, Corey got COVID and Eric suddenly fell ill.

And he gets really, really sick on Valentine's Day, to the point that he has to lie down and take a nap in the middle of the day.

That is not Eric.

Eric does not stop.

He's not going to lay down for 90 minutes on a weekday and have a nap because he doesn't feel well.

Eric told a friend he thought it might have been an allergic reaction to a sandwich he ate.

After using an EpiPen, he felt better.

But perhaps it was a warning sign of things to come, because two weeks after that, Eric was dead.

A deputy at the scene told Corey there would be an autopsy.

As Eric's body went off to the medical examiner's office, his family made funeral arrangements, and Corey was about to discover that her husband had been keeping a secret.

I mean, that's crazy.

That's terrible.

How are the boys handling it?
