Dear Eileen, Herb and Family,
In my search to find old friends from our tour in Germany, I came upon this guest book for Erich. My deepest condolences to your family on the loss of your son. Eileen, we shared such happy times with the children when they were very young. I still enjoy our photos of our children playing together and would be happy to email the pictures of the boys in thier little cars in your backyard in germany. My heart goes out to you as a mother as I can't begin to ...

Tabert Family,
I got to know your son in California, summer of 2005 while we sold security systems. Erich and I hung out a lot and made good memories and enjoyed life. Erich even came up to my house in Idaho after that summer where I hooked him up on a date, they ended up not liking each other but they had lots of fun no matter what. He was a very funny, outgoing, and a very lively person, the fun was where he was, I can only imagine how much you miss him and my heart goes out to you, I...

To the family,

As well as Jeremy, I only knew Erich through Chip. I am so sorry for your loss and please know that my prayers are with you. If it brings only a small amount of comfort, he is with you every day and I truly believe you will reunite with his loving spirit again.

Tabert Family,

I just read about all of this today. I did not know Erich on a personal level...only through Chip. I am truly sorry for what has happened...my heart and prayers go out to your family.

Herb and Eileen and the Tabert Family, it's Colleen, Pauline's daughter...I just found out yesterday 5/17/08 just by accident the horrible news about your beautiful son Erich...what a tragedy...I cannot imagine how devastated you all must be...I read some of Erich's entries on his web page what a funny and sincere son...It just seems like yesterday we were all at my mom's house...she loved you so much...I still cry, I miss her so much..I cannot imagine loosing a child in such a horrific...

I remember one day I went to Team Gear with my mom. I threw the door open and it swung a little quicker than I thought it would. After leaping to catch it, I looked up and saw a very cute guy smiling and laughing-at me. I was embarrassed. That day he sold us a pair of cleats. We joked around with him because he was wearing a shirt that said something like "Don't trust anything I say". A few months later I saw him at a soccer tournament-he looked familiar but I couldn't figure it out.

A smile, a laugh
A smirk, and some tears
These are the things
We've shared down here

Now you're gone
And we're left alone
I keep asking why?
But no answers will come.....

It just isn't fair
This can't be right
How do I lay down
And go to sleep at night?

I miss your smile, miss your laugh
Miss your smirk, and our tears
These will be the things I remember
for the rest of my life down here.........

I miss Erich more and more every...
