A month has passed and not one day has been lived without thinking of you and your family. I hope someday, some how your family will find some peace with the loss. I am still at a loss for words. God be with you and yours.

My sincerest condolences go out to Erin's family and friends. I taught Erin in 8th and 9th grade German. Erin was a quiet young lady with a wonderful smile and a creative spirit that did the talking for her. We are worse off for not having her in this world any longer. May everyone who knew and loved her find comfort and solace in the fact that she was a part of their lives, if only for such a tragically short time.
