Nothing can be said of the pain I still feel to this day. You were the best friend I had. How do I live without you? I wonder that even now.
Dearest Marcia and Jim, Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you both during this very, very difficult time.
My deepest sympathies to all of Erin's family on your tragic loss. I will always remember her as the smiling, happy-go-lucky child who was one of my Kari's best friends from kindergarten through 5th grade at Hawthorne. There were always sleepovers at both houses, and expeditions to help catch Monarch butterflies one memorable September. And of course Erin was in the Brownie and G.S. troops that met at my house for five years, with her mom as one of my co-leaders. (Marcia and I even did the Day Camp thing one summer, as Wapsi and Pinicon. Marcia talked me into it and it turned out to be a lot of fun!) May your memories of all the fun days help ease your pain and grief.
We are so sorry to hear this news. Pat, it's been a long time since we've connected. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this very difficult time. May God Bless You.
Yes, I felt like Erin was one of my own. She was such a sweet girl...so beautiful on the inside and the outside. Jim, I can't imagine your pain losing your "little girl". Just remember, you can never lose the memories. You'll always see her smiling face, and hear her laughing voice. To her husband and children, I knew Erin for over 10 years, and a sweeter, more loving lady it would be hard to find. I haven't seen Erin for a long time since we moved West, but always thought about the things those 3 girls would do...and I'd sometimes wonder about the things I didn't know about. May you all find hope that God will ease your sorrow and make the hurt less and the memories brighter. You will all be in my prayers through this very trying time.
God's blessings to your all.

My deepest sympathy goes out to Erins family I was shocked to read her name in the paper. We have been friends since 3rd grade and I have so many memories of her so many sleep overs, brownies @ Kari's house,selling GS cookies to a house on 4th ST and I was suppose to go up to the house but chickened out and those people bought 14 boxes from her, it was probably her smile, recess@ Hawthorne I always thought Erin was so lucky because she lived so close to school and didn't have to walk as far as I did to get home. I will always consider Erin one of my dearest friends. I could go on forever... Erin will be missed!!!
My deapest sympathies goes out to Erin's family and friends. I am so lost for words. I first met Erin in the 3rd grade (Hawthorn) many many years ago. We always had the best of times. I loved spending the night at her moms house and staying up really late to watch scary movies with popcorn that was drenched in butter. I would be a little jealous as time went on because she grew up to be so pretty and the boys thought she was so "HOT". We lost contact over the years but I would think back and remember friends from the past and for sure she and Tami were the main ones. God Bless---Love Jo-Dee
Erin was a beautiful person with a kind heart and quick wit. I will forever cherish the memories I made growing up with her. Especially all the weekends we spent camping out on the houseboat and sand islands on the Mississippi River with our family. These are some of the fondest mememories of my life.
You will be missed Erin, but I know one day we will reunite in Heaven.
Love to all, and I am so sorry I am unable to be there with all of you.

Erin you have touched the lives of so many and left a lasting impressions. You and I had differences but always made up and became friends with a common interest. Our Lisa Marie. We shared stories that made us cry and stories of Lisa that made us laugh. I will always remember our friendship and I will always be thankful for your love that you gave so unselfishly to Lisa. You will always be in my heart Erin and in the hearts of so many. Rest in peace my friend. I will miss our chats, I will miss you.
I miss you my longest & dearest friend. You have been more like a sister to me for over 20 years. I will never forget you and our many years we shared together. You are at home with God now. Watching over all and I know you are in heaven, free from pain. Erin, you made the world a much better place, and I am honored that I was your best friend & "sister". I love you so very much.
I am so sorry for your loss. It is hard to understand why God takes the ones we love so early. You all have a beautiful angel now to watch over you all.
I am sorry I was unable to get out there. But my thoughts, prayers and love are with everyone.
