Erin was always a bright spark and full of enthusiasm for everything when our paths crossed in the 70s and 80s in Devon England. This enthusiasm didn´t decline throughout her later life going by her achievements highlighted in her obituary RIP Erin

Erin stayed with us on a trip to Australia in the early 1980's. I had also met her and her mother in Nigeria in 1983. Many many years ago now. I had many fond memories of her time with us, way back then. I was vey sad to hear of her passing. R.I.P. Erin.
