Please know that we are thinking of you all and praying for you. Just the thought of Erin makes me smile . . . I guess that is because that is what she did best and most often . . . her smile was contagious and it seemed to be her way of reminding everyone she came in contact with, that life may just not turn out the way you hoped it would, but there was always a reason for joy. I bet she’s about to burst with joy in the presence of the Lord!!!!

It was such a joy and pleasure working with Erin. Her laugh and smile were infectious and she always made the nights a true joy. Weekends were the best when we could talk about “the boys” and just listen to her get so excited and happy. I will never again be able to watch Magic Mike and not think of her beautiful soul.
May she rest in peace and you and your family find peace. She is truly missed, and CMLC is such a quiet place with out her there.

I read this in my devotional this morning and thought of my dear friend Erin. It is my hope that it comforts you.
but I do not want you to be ignorant,brethren,concerning those who have fallen asleep,lest you sorrow as others who have no hope.
Thessalonians 4;13In Jesus’ day,a funeral was a time for an impassioned demonstration of grief. It was a sign of respect for the deceased to wail loudly at a funeral.

May God hold you in His arms Erin and may you have peace. You were loved by so many people, and I was personally Blessed for having you be a part of my life for a few years, you taught me many of things at Community Link while I was employed there them few years. Your Smile was Priceless! I remember first time I met you, you loved riding my bus, you didn’t tell our secret about stopping a Schwann

Lisa and Family,
Erin meant so much to me. She made laugh and smile. I can’t tell you how much fun we had because we had alot of it. She was an inspiration to me as well. My kids so remember her fondly and wanted to express their sympathy too. My heart is breaking but I do know she is happy and checking out all those good looking angels.
Hugs and love to you all,
