Dearest Bill, Sharron and Ally,

Our First two years at Queen’s were filled with great moments. We always seemed to randomly find each other when we needed a conversation, clarity, or a laugh. You are on my all time list of influential people in my life. You are gone Way too young. Agree with Mr P. The world is a poorer place.

Devastated to hear about Erin's death. We worked together at the fifth estate and she was a joy to be around: a shining light of intelligence, good humour and fun. Please - my deepest respect and condolence for such a loss.

I’m very sad to hear of her passing I knew her at silverthorn from afar but she was always kind and strong and beautiful.

I first met Erin at an event when she spoke at a refugee center in Toronto, in 2009. I will always remember her as a positive influencer; her heart was always in tuned with helping others. Her legacy of kindness will always be remembered.
I will forever treasure the beautiful response, on to an invitation to be the MC for a mentor recognition event on December 3, 2020, at Skills for Change. The kindness that was reflected in her voice was therapeutic, it elevated my mood for most of the day.
Today, I will honour and remember Erin as an instrument of kindness, who would use her very last breath to help others. Her legacy lives on.

I worked with Erin years ago at Sportsnet and then we reconnected this summer. She was a skilled and talented journalist, but more than that, she was really fun person to be around. She knew how to tell a great story and had a big, bright smile. But she was also very kind and empathetic. As many others said, she loved to talk about her daughter Ally, who was so important to her. My deepest condolences to her family, she was taken way too soon and will be greatly missed.

My deepest sympathies to everyone, most especially her daughter, parents, and sister, who were lucky enough to have been in Erin's amazing orbit at some point in their lives. I don't think a year went by from Grade 6 through to fourth year @ Queen's that she and I were not in at least some class together, which of course also meant tons of smiles, laughter, adventures, parties, debates, disputes, drinks, dance floors, and all other memorable (or not) moments along the way. She was a wonderful spirited talented person which we were all unquestionably drawn to, and her presence will be so sadly missed by all she touched. Rest well Erin, friends forever.

Erin brought light to the early shifts when the rest of us didn’t have any energy. She genuinely cared about the people around her, and was supportive of others in their careers. I had the chance of working closely with her in the newsroom, and it was there where I learned how much she loved and was proud of her talented daughter. To Ally and the rest of the family, my deepest condolences.

Bill and Sharon, my heart breaks for you at your unimaginable loss. I had the pleasure of knowing Erin intermittently over a few decades. First, the exuberant young teen who generously tolerated her Dad's raucous colleagues when we invaded her home more than a few times. Later, the bright journalism student who brought me her audition tapes from Western, looking for advice on her on air performance. (I didn't have much to offer. Her talent was as obvious as it was natural.) And the broadcast professional and proud mom I had the good fortune to catch up with a decade ago when we ran into each other at the Olympics. The years had brought changes but she had the same spark and spirit that I had remembered and so many of her friends and colleagues have recounted in their postings. My deepest condolences to you both and all of your family.

Condolences to everyone in Erin's family. We became friends at Queen's and then, years later, reconnected while working together at CTV News. She was great fun and a terrific broadcaster. I will miss her very much.

Our last Facebook chat was about the tremendous passion and enthusiasm Ally had for music and brightest personality in the room just like her mom. Hard to believe this just happened. May you find peace now and may your family know always how much you loved them. The intoxicating smile and infectious happiness will be missed.

I had the pleasure of working with Erin when she was a fresh-faced and bright young reporter on The Health Show. She was kind hearted and and smart back then and I knew she would have a successful career. I can scarcely believe that she is gone. May her memory be a blessing to her family and especially to her daughter and her parents.

Erin was one of the first people I met in the newsroom and I will never forget how she often welcomed new faces with warmth and kindness. She made the toughest days at work easier with her wit and awesome sense of humour, and no matter what kind of day she was having, without fail, talking about her daughter would always make her smile. Ally, she loved you SO much. I’m so sorry for your loss. We will all miss Erin immensely.

My deepest condolences to Catherine and your family. You seemed so close to your sister growing up. Sounds like she became a remarkable woman following in the footsteps of your dad. I have no doubt you are an amazing aunt and will continue to shine and provide comfort for your family.

I am heartbroken. At CTV, we often passed each other in the makeup room and those brief moments were always good for a laugh. She was a warm and friendly presence in an often high stress environment. We didn’t know each other too well, but one thing was clear about Erin: she absolutely adored her daughter.
Alexandra, your mom was deeply proud of you.
Sincerely,
Bill Paul

Erin was a beacon of light and laughter during my time working with her in the CTV newsroom. I will always remember her sense of humour, and duty of care she gave to those fortunate enough to be around her. My deepest condolences to Erin's loved ones, especially to her daughter who she spoke about so often. Erin, you will be missed but never forgotten. Much love. Jacob

Words can not express how sorry I am to hear the news of my high school friend Erin passing away recently. She always had a smile on her face and an energetic personality. My thoughts go to her family and I want them to know that Erin touched so many people’s lives and will forever be remembered as a fun and caring friend. XOXO. Rachel Carnell

Deepest condolences to Erin’s family and friends. She was a great classmate at j-school - talented, hard-working and fun. From all the kind words from colleagues during her career she clearly carrieD that with her throughout her life and shared it with everyone she touched with her megawatt smile. Be at peace.

I worked with Erin on Marketplace and The Health Show when we were both at the CBC. She was always so kind and interested in others. She was especially supportive to me and my family when my wife was ill. I will always remember her for that and appreciate her generosity. She was a lovely, empathetic person who will be sorely missed.

My deepest and most heartfelt condolences to all those who loved Erin. She was a wonderful friend to me and will be painfully missed. I first met Erin at Silverthorn CI and since I was a transfer, she was so special because she made me feel welcome. I appreciated Erin's kindness, and while I haven't seen Erin since SCI (aside from welcoming her into our home over the years through her journalism and sports coverage), we communicated through the years - children, careers and heartbreaks included. Erin's brilliance was her grace, fun-loving and generous nature, and her talent for communicating, and of course, the light of her life, her beloved daughter. Heaven truly has gained another angel with the passing of Erin Paul.

Erin was one of the first people I met in our newsroom and she welcomed me, as she repeatedly welcomed others, with a warm, friendly smile. She taught, encouraged, and supported so many members of the newsroom, but she also made the tough days easier to get through with her wicked sense of humour.
Erin, I will miss your kind spirit, your wit and your laugh. You were one of a kind. My deepest condolences and prayers for your family, especially your daughter, who I know you loved so dearly. We will miss you so much, Erin.

It was so saddening to learn of Erin's passing. I had the pleasure of doing my Master of Journalism at Western in 1994-95 and Erin was an absolute pillar of that class. She was always fun, always on point and very serious about her craft and it showed. I always followed her path and was happy but not surprised to see her achieve so many successes. My memories of her all positive and warm. My condolences to her friends and loved ones. She will be missed.

It is with great regret and sadness that we have lost such an incredibly kind and talented woman. I had the pleasure of working with Erin several years ago and enjoyed her contagious energy and passion for her work. She brought light into this world and sadly, it has dimmed with our loss. My heartfelt condolences to Ally, her parents and those who she held dear.

I have thought about Erin every day I walk my dogs past her house. I had not seen her for months and always wondered how she was doing. I did not know that she was ill; I wish I had known; I wish I had knocked on her door to tell her I was thinking of her.

Erin we passed each other between news sets and laughed together in the make-up room... anchoring on a 24 hours news channel is interesting because there’s only time for small talk as you switch out seats... yet we’re all on the screen and somehow feel like we know each other... but your loss reminds me, we often don’t know our neighbours as well as we should. We need to do better with this... I will always remember you for a reason to dig deeper, ask more questions, be a neighbour to the colleagues around me.
I do know though, how incredibly proud you were of your daughter. Your posts about her on Facebook always made me smile. You loved her very much - that was very clear. I pray you are in a better place, where your soul finds rest from a weary world. Xoxo Molly

I will always remember the many laughs we had on the early morning shows. She was a lovely lady. Fantastic at her job. Smart as the day is long. I never held one conversation with Erin in all the time I knew her where she didn’t bring up her pride in being a Mother to her beautifully talented daughter Ally. The Moon, the Sun & the Stars. May Erin’s love for her daughter bring much comfort to her in the years to come. Sincere condolences to Erin’s family for the loss of a terrific human.❤

I will always cherish my time working with Erin at CTV. Her humour, laugh and warm and caring personality – not to mentioned her immense talent as a journalist – made every day better. She was also incredibly supportive of my career. I remember her big smile when I told her I had accepted a reporting job out west. I’ll miss Erin so much. My condolences to her family, friends and colleagues.

I find it incomprehensible that Erin is gone. I have been thinking of her beloved Ally ever since I heard the shocking news. She adored you, Ally, and was so proud. It's hard to believe we will never again be able to share a laugh about past adventures or have some news ones. My sincere condolences to the entire family.

Erin was such a joy to work with. She made the newsroom such a fun and welcoming place, but I was also fortunate to have her as a friend outside of work. My deepest condolences to Bill, Sharon and Cathryn. Ally, you were her shining star. Her love for you and her deep sense of pride is something she shared with everyone she knew, and probably with people she didn't know, too! I will always be just a text or call away.
With love,
Leanne
