freshman center the year Erik was a student there. He was one of our office aides, so I got to know him quite well, and I got to see you fairly often. I can't tell you how heartbroken I was to see his obituary in the paper. I have such fond memories of him from that freshman year. He was always so polite, so mature for his age, a true gentleman. I remember what happened with him and the freshman baseball team, and I'll never forget how beautifully he handled it. Again, a true gentleman. Karol, I am so sorry for your loss and I've been praying for your family and for Erik. God bless you all, Cece CECE LEGGIERI, APRIL 23, 2006 we are very sorry to hear of your loss, our sympathy and prayers go out to all of you. MIKE DOOLY, APRIL 23, 2006 Bobby so sorry for your lose.

Karol, I remember those fun times in Red Oak that we would get the kids together and go to the pool or the park. Erik for Zack as a buddy, and Ashley for Kasey. I cannot imagine the grief of losing a child; I can just let you know that I am close by and ready to offer anything I can to help in the healing process. Karol, as a friend, you have always held a special place in my heart - who else spells "Karol" with a "K"? Please know that our prayers and sorrow are with you. You guys have always been a blesssing.

Our prayers and thoughts are with you. DENNIS & JAN GOBLE, APRIL 20, 2006 "He Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support." Hebrews 13:5 May your troubled heart find peace and comfort in the knowledge that you are never alone. May God's presence ease your trembling spirit and give you rest. He knows how you feel. He is ever aware of your circumstances and ready to be your strength, your grace, and your peace. He is there to cast sunlight into all of your darkened shadows, to send encouragement through the love of friends and family, and to replace your weariness with new hope. God is your stronghold, and with Him as your guide, you need never be afraid. No circumstances can block His love. No grief is too hard for Him to bear. No task is too difficult for Him to complete. When what you are feeling is simply too deep for words and nothing anyone does or says can provide you with the relief you need, God understands. He is your provider -- today, tomorrow, and always. And He loves you. Cast all of
your cares on Him... and believe. -- Linda E. Knight With deepest sympathy Glenn Cary GLENN R CARY, APRIL 20, 2006 Bobby and Ashley, I am so sorry to hear of your loss.

A fellow umpire, Myron Bruce MYRON BRUCE, APRIL 19, 2006 May the memories held deep within your heart soothe your spirit at this most difficult time. MICHAEL A. DOMM & FAMILY, APRIL 19, 2006 Our hearts, thoughts and prayers are with you during this tragic time in your lives. We are so deeply sorry for your loss. DONNA DOMM, APRIL 19, 2006 Karol and David, We are deeply saddened at the sudden loss of your precious son, Erik. He was a good friend to our daughter, Taryn, and they shared many happy times together with other friends. We will always remember how friendly Erik was - how he would just drop by the house to say hello to Taryn or us, how anytime that I saw him in public, he would always say "Hi, Mrs. Burch" and go out of his way which is unusual for teenagers. My husband also remembered a young man at Enterprise that was always saying hi to him when he rented a car there. Then he figured out who it was - Erik - more than a year after the kids had graduated. Erik was such a good friend to Taryn over the years and you always opened your home to the kids. They all liked to hang out at your house during the freshmen and sophomore years and I will always appreciate you taking Taryn home from school before she could drive. Those were times that she and Erik really got to know each other. Later she was friends with the LaCrosse Team and Erik was a part of her life then, too. Please know that you are in our prayers and that Erik's winning smile and attitude will be greatly missed by so many. May God provide you comfort at this time with your memories of Erik. In sympathy, Steve, Troie, and Taryn Burch TROIE A BURCH, APRIL 19, 2006 You and your family are in our prayers. The Leps Family ED LEPS, APRIL 19, 2006

I wish there were words to bring you some type of understanding, but we know there simply are not. Keep your friends and family close - you need them more than you know. If you need anything - we understand where you are - please know that we are here.
