Lisa Valletutti - 12/09/00 04:58:42 My URL:sophomore My Email:leesah85@aol.com | Comments: Dear Tom, I never told you how much you really meant to me. Even before we started dating, you really were such a treasured friend. Remember all those times at Nicole's house? Or the snowball fight with me, you, Nicole, and Ryan at Dunkin' Donuts? Even though hings didn't work out between us (i don't know the real reason why you broke up with me, till this day), I'm really glad that we made peace on that Friday afternoon. The entire summer I told Katie how worried I was that you might be in my Spanish class, ut honestly, I'm very glad that you were. It's not the same without you now....it's a lot quieter. And now that almost three months have passed, they set up a scholarship at school. I wish you only knew how much of an impact that you had on people's li es. I know that this is the hardest thing I've ever been through, which helps me to know that I am strong. You make me stronger and stronger everyday because I know that you're helping me up there. Remember "Tom-Tom", and "The Tom Song?" And, how "Bac at One" was our song? These are things that I will never forget about you and looking back as each day passes, it is easier and easier to talk about you. I miss you more than words can describe, and although we had only reconciled the day before you wer hit, I know that you were listening to me when I was crying at your bed. I know that you were listening to me and Kim sing and tell you how sexy you looked in that hospital gown. But most of all, I want you to know that you have changed the way that I nd many others look at life today. Anytime I would start to cry, you'd always tell me to stop. You said that life was too short to cry. Now I know the real meaning of what you meant. We all miss you Tom, and you will remain in my heart until we are re nited again in the kingdom of God. Love Always, Lisa |

You never seen him not smiling, the day of september 10 came as a big shock to me. you wouldn't expect something like this to happen to such a good person. He will be alive in our hearts for ever. |

I have known TC all my life, our moms were pregnant together, we went to school together, and we celebrated everything together. I feel like everyone else who is basically saying you don't know what y u have til it is gone. I really never had a bond with him as most of u did. He was always there and i took him for granted.I really wish i could have changed a lot of things, but i can't. RIP Thomas. I know your in a better place now. ~Catherine Barclay |

pamela katz - 09/19/00 18:25:24 My Email:pgk2@geneseo.edu | Comments: it sadens me greatly to hear of the tragedy of Toms passing away. I did not know him well but I knew his great smile and friendiness to all. I had the honor of working with him on the show last year where he put in many hours and helped out with so much that could not have been done with out him. He is a great person that will live on through all of us that knew him. I am sorry that I only knew him for a short period of time but for the little bit that i did know him he added something to my life. I w nt to send my condolences to his family and just say that he will be in my prayers. pamela katz |

He was in my english class with Mrs Lagnado ill never forget that first time he came over to me when i was upset and said something along the lines of , "Hey doesnt english suck?" it was so inappr priate and meaningless to what i was feeling but yet it made me look up and smile at him....from that day on i kinda fell for him and wanted to tell him in one way or another...but i didnt...the year went on and the year ended....and september 11th 2000 i am sitting on aol and my friend tells me TC has passed i was unable to breath and started to cry... it was the smallest thing he has ever done to someone...but it meant the world to me....it is beautiful to see he has this effect and could actually bring he whole school together...something many thought could never happen...ill never forget his jokes his smile and those eyes how could ne one?

I remember him comming to my sweet sixteen and bring me this huge candle for it. to this day i have still yet to light it because of its potent smell. As time went on Tom and i grew apart to the point where the nly words we exchanged were "Hellos" in the hallway. Even though i only knew Tom for a shot period of time he will always hold a very special place in my heart! ~meghan~ |
Catherine Curran - 09/17/00 23:57:15 My URL:http://11 | Comments: I was shocked and hurt to find out what had happen at first, but I know now that he is happy and in good hands because he is with God. I had math and spanish with T.C. and will always remember that smile he had when he came into class everyday. He alway made the class laugh and brighten up the enviroment. It is sad how things like this can happpen to such kind and loving people. I can remember him comming over my house for the pasta parties my brother had and always having the best manners for the res of the boys to follow. I would just like T.C. to know that he has changed my life, in showing me not to take the little things for granted that we have everyday. T.C. you will always be present in spirit with us.

Corinne - 09/17/00 15:31:45 My Email:sweetiecmt | Comments: I'll make this short, because i don't want to start crying again...I grew up with T.C. and have lived around the block from him for over 14 years... since day one he was the nicest person ever. Its been really difficult coming to terms with the fact that will never again see him at my doorstep asking to borrow a football, or wondering where my brother was. Also, People were always getting our names mixed up (my last name is Tisei) and to him it was a big joke (as everything was). We used to play tricks o new neighbors and pretend we were actually related... it was hillarious and to this day, people still think we're brother and sister! This past week has been the absolute hardest thing i've ever had to go through, because losing a friend that's so close o you, and so young is a huge tragedy that takes years to fully recover. I hope T.C.'s watching over all of us now, and realizes how extremely loved he was, although knowing him he's probably just laughing at us. Thanks for the memories Tom... I loved you before and i always will! RIP Tece! <3 always -Corinne p.s. thanks for never making me the "lonely little freshmen" (you know what i mean!!)I'll miss you come softball season!! |

Then we took gina's lighter and a gued over who would break it and finally came to the conclusion that we both would. First I broke it, then he threw it. I hope he is happy with his dad, I know that's what he talked about that night. RIP, TC, we'll never forget you cuz you touched us al . Kristen Kraff |

Kristen Schaefer and the rectory staff - 09/16/00 16:24:33 | Comments: I would just like to take this opportunity to say how sorry I am to the Ehehart/McCartin families. We all have to take the time out and think about how we really view life. Most of us probably take it for granted. I guarantee that Thomas's death came a a shock to all of us. How could this young, intellegent, fun-loving, enthusiastic boy's life come to an end so soon? Although I did not know him half as well as his family and friends did, but I knew him well enough to say that he was loved by all of u . He played baseball a few years for Merillon, on my father, and Mr. Tinelli's team as a Pitcher and Catcher. His enthusiastic spirit always showed on the field. He was very easy going without complaints. Last night at the wake and this morning at the Funeral mass, Thomas was remembered by many many people for every way he has touched our lives. I have the pleasure of working with his mother Ronnie at Notre Dame. Each day I worked with her, I'd ask her about her sons. She always mentioned about "T.C " and how he was out having fun with his friends. Infact the last time I saw him was about 3 weeks ago, when he came into the Rectory to see his mother. (I thought he was Matthew!) Ronnie.... I couldn't possibly begin to understand your pain, but if you ever need anything, anything at all know that I am here for you, and so is Vicki, Meghan, Catherine and Lauren! Try to stay strong! Thomas- Rest in Peace and know that we'll all remember you in our hearts and love you! xoxo ~ Kristen Schaefer..... and the rest of the rectory staff~ |

He has so much to live for. If i've learned ne thing from this whole experience it's not to take your friends for granted b/c you don't know what tomorrow brings. RIP TC.

Scott Chun - 09/14/00 15:32:33 My URL:College Freshman My Email:Pugsley323@hotmail.com | Comments: I have so much and yet so little to say. I have been reading what everyone has written and not a word of it is false. TC had a heart like no other human being i have ever known. I usually only hung out with TC with Rebecca, Nicole, and them, but i stil got to know him rather well. I spent my weekend at the hospital from saturday evening until monday afternoon with little time outside besides maybe a total of about 8 or so hours in which i went to sleep. I brought breakfast and tissues, and I was amon the lucky to see him. All of these images will last in my mind and Tom in my heart forever. He had a personality of true giving, was always watching out for others. He will forever be missed, and forever remembered and held in all of our hearts. God i smiling down, knowing he took Tom to be where he wanted, with his father. There also brought unity through this rough tragedy. He will always be loved, always remembered, and always watching over all of us. When those times come and you end up smiling for no reason, it is because TC is right there with you, doing what he always did best, putting smiles on others faces. RIP TC!! |
Kat Maher - 09/14/00 03:48:17 | Comments: many say he was a great guy. i know a few people who knew TC as a friend...but i never got to know him well... i only met him a few times... because some friends of mine were friends of his. be it as it may, i feel like i can relate to what you guys ar going through... especially the family. i lost my brother damian feb. 14 of 1998. he was 27. like TC, he was young and was looking foreward to his future... and my family was devistated. i know not a day will go by that Tc's family, friends, and aqua ntances won't think about him. eventually, it will get easier. take some time, though. think about him... and he will live in your heart forever. -Tc... rest now. be with your family, in their hearts. they need you. -take care of my brother.

Michael Jaronczyk - 09/14/00 02:57:51 My Email:GoOnMaN999@aol.com | Comments: We think we live in the perfect world, One where we are invincible, Where we can't be hurt, Everything happens to someone else, Someone we don't know, But never to us, So clueless from reality, It's so near our face, Just beyond the tip of our nose, There lies the truth, So blind that it's really not even there, Through times passing, Our nosetip becomes visible, Like a sunrise, To show us the light, It brightens the darkness, We live in the night, Our own deep dark place, A very safe place, Until the real truth arises, We come from our false world, To the very real one, The cruel reality we all come to know, The dreaded truth is not well-liked. My name is Michael Jaronczyk of New Hyde Park and Thomas Ehrhart was a friend of mine that was well-liked by many people. I am very upset to have lost him to a car accident. I dedicate this poem to him with all my heart because he was such a great guy. I played baseball and soccer with him and I was in Boys Scouts with him, too. He lived behind my aunt's house, where I saw him on many occasions. Thomas Ehrhart will be greatly missed by everyone and this poem was written in his memory. Pass this on to all the people you know that knew Thomas Ehrhart |

After knowing someone who knows someone who died, I've realized that you should tell your loved ones about how much you care about them. It's cary that someone so close and dear to you can disappear without you knowing. It's sad that TC had to die young, but he will still live in our hearts, and we will never forget him. |
John Rosa - 09/14/00 02:47:49 My URL:College Freshman My Email:johnrosa@acsu.buffalo.edu | Comments: The day before I left for college I was hanging out with TC and I told him that I looked foward to hanging out with him when I visited over Thanksgiving break. I have known TC for almost 1/2 of my life. I was a really close friend of his older brother M tt and I eventually befreinded TC. I am so glad that I had the privelage to know TC as well as I did. Last year he was in my English class and he would always crack jokes and he was basically the spirit of the class. When I heard the news up here in Bu falo it was like someone smacked me with a brick. I was in total shock for the entire day. Looking back at all of the memories I have of TC I don't think I can find one instance where TC did not put a smile on my face. TC u will always be with me in spirit bro. Gone but not forgotten.

Jessica Frankel - 09/14/00 01:48:40 My Email:Dramaticj@aol.com | Comments: Hi I'm Jessica a lot of you may know me, but some of you may not. I wasn't best friends or close friends with T.C. But I did know him and I had talked with him enough times to know what a wonderful person he really was. I remember one time in lunch last year when my table kept screaming out his name and he was at the other end of the room and he didn't know who was screaming his name so finally he jumped up on the table and yelled out very humorously "Who's Calling My Name" It was very funny. Tom Ehrhart was a wonderful person who will always have a place in my heart. As billy joel once said "Only the good die young." in Toms case this is true. R.I.P Tom Eh |
