Heey everyone. I as well as you all, knew Tom C. Ehrhart(aka Tommy). But I didn't know him as well as most of you. I had Spanish with him. Early in the year, I became friends with him, because Ms. Throne sat me behind him. At first we became friends by making fun of each other. But soon, we talked and joked around. I remember the times I would write imaginary letters on his back, that would spell little phrases and he would have to guess them. Of course he got most of them right. And he would ask me to start singing an *NSYNC song, but as soon as the first line was out of my mouth, he would take over and finish the rest of the song. That brought us a lot closer. Because I thought it was amazing that a GUY knew the words to *NSYNC's songs. We liked singing(even though we can't carry a tune) in Spanish and sometimes we wouldn't shut up. He even told me once that he wanted to try out for Say What? Karaoke with another friend. I told him to forget it, because he can't sing. But all throughout the period he convinced me that he was going to do it, try out and even win the $10,000 prize. But unfortunetly, we won't know if he would have ever won it or if he would have had fun just trying out. Not only were we friends in class, but he always walked with me to various classes, if we were going the same way. Even in the 2-4 minute walk, he make me laugh or even smile, even if I was having a bad day. But I rather focus on all the good memories and always keep them with me. Tommy, you are an extraordinary person and I'll always remember you.

WE'LL ALL MISS YOU!!!

Love Ya Always, Shilpa
