Poem
The day you were born you are mother and father's miracle, You were a very calm baby boy. Walter brought baby Erik and mom home from the hospital, Mom could stay at home with you for a few months. You learned to walk and talk, Loved to read storybooks with mom and dad. Liked the Fischer Price toys, Playtime was your favorite, Then you went to school, Learned to read and write. Enjoyed sports, like soccer, When we lived with grandma and grandpa and mom. Went to Lorne Park Elementary School with your brother Kirk, Received good results at school. I would drive you Erik, Kirk, and Antje to school and back. Then you went onto graduate from school, I remember you winning the jelly bean contest and won a jar pf jelly beans, when you went to Ellwood. You went to Humberview Collegiate, I am sure there are many good memories there. Graduated with your favorite female escort, I remember the holiday we had in Collingwood where we enjoyed skiiing. We stayed over the weekend, dinned. The miracle, that took us two hours to get there. I was still driving in those days. Your mother's handsome escort to the Federation of Teachers twenty-five year dinner. Where mother was photographed with the Director of Education, we had a nice dinner. The nice picnic at Wittchurch with all our relatives, We bought a bucket of Kentucky Fried chicken and had lunch. Then there were the days at University where he studied to be a Chartered Account. Got married to his childhood sweetheart Lisette. Had a beautiful wedding in Costa Rica. Sent mom the pictures of the wedding, very beautiful. Went to live there because the climate was warmer, Lived in a nice apartment with his beautiful wife. I remember the days when we shared a Christmas holiday at the Limetree. Upon arrival we received a Santa and a bag of oranges. That was such an excellent vacation with Antje, grandma and grandpa and mom. We met the Thornes, Regina, Eric, Cliff and Tina. These are beautiful memories, God has blessed us with them. Author: Gwen von Erlach Schutz
