We had so many great memories together at Wasson. I remember when I first met Erin in gym class, she was so bubbly & happy, approaching me as if we hadn't seen each other in years. I have to say I'm glad she did because we became really good friends after that. My son was a toddler at the time but he absolutely adored Erin, his face lit up when he'd see her. We was supposed to go have dinner when I came back to CO to visit in 2013 but that never happened because she was called home. Erin, I still miss you dearly & I'm so happy to call you my friend!! Love ya!

Dear Karen....I am so sorry for your loss. Erin had grown into a beautiful young woman and mother too I see; what else can I say but she'll be with you always, in the breeze, the sunshine and rainbows.....*hugs*

I will never forget when I met Erin back in '97 in school. We had gym class together & for the first 3 days she kept walking by me smiling & saying "hi." At first I thought she was a crazy freshman because I had never seen someone so bubbly & over joyed like she was. A few days later I was walking outside for lunch & she asked me what I was doing & I told her nothing accept going to Circle K to get some chips & a soda so she asked if she & another friend could walk with me & I told her yes. Well the rest is history, I'm so glad I got to know Erin because she was the most genuine person you could ever meet even though we didn't know each other's name for almost a month!

The one thing that amazed me about her is her smile, she had a smile that would light up the room. I have tons of stories of our days in school because I haven't seen her since I graduated in '99 but thanks to Facebook I was able to reconnect with her & other friends. Now that we're all adults now we always talk about "living life to the fullest." I never realized Erin always conveyed that message to us when we were in school.
Erin will always be in our hearts & truly missed!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERIN!!! Love u & miss u bunches :)
