Sincerely,

Dear Tanya, I'm so sorry to learn of Erin's passing. I remember so fondly dancing with the two of you at the Arlington Millenium ball. You were both glowing in your love. Let your many happy memories comfort you in the future. Sincerely Judy Kocur

ELLEN IM SO SORRY ABOUT YOUR SISTER

Dear Tanya, Nora, and Max - I am saddenned by Erin's death as I was always inspired by her tireless work on behalf of the community we all love and call home. I am grateful to have known her and had an opportunity to work together. I wish you strength and peace at this difficult time.

Erin was a pal from upstairs and downstairs at Fitness First (yoga classes & machines) and from First Parish. A beautiful, wise spirit. I am so sad and sorry for your loss.

I am so saddened to hear of Erin's passing - I was just reminiscing this evening of the good times we spent together in Cambridge and in northwestern Maine where she and her family had a place on Long Pond and my family had a place on Mooselookmeguntic Lake. Erin loved Maine (as do I) and no mention of her passing should omit her love for Maine. I've known Erin since the late 1970's and while we did not spend alot of time together after I went off to Yale for graduate school and our lives...

I am so sorry to hear of Erin's death. She was a lovely woman who will certainly be missed.

I was saddened when I learned of Erin's passing. She will be remembered as a loving and devoted wife and parent as well as a courageous woman.

While I was not fortunate enough to have Max or Nora as students, I will cherish my memories of my chats with her during their time in the Dallin School.

May your find comfort in your happy memories and may Erin rest in peace.

Tanya, Nora, and Max, I can't tell you how sad I am to learn of your loss.
Erin was an important part of so many lives, including mine. Se engaged life in a remarkable way... intellectually and emotionally. She will be remembered most for her strength, her courage and her love of family and friends.
