We were blessed to see Erin many times wearing her Special Olympics medals proudly in church. They sparkled and so did she! Erin loved to tell us about her sports achievements and it was fun to listen. Other times she would brighten our day by wearing colorful and stylish fashions. It was always a joy to see her. We will miss seeing our little friend and rejoice that we will see her again in heaven.

My sympathy goes out to the family during your time of grief. May God's loving-kindness comfort and help you through this difficult time (Psalm 119:50,76).

Debbie and Family:
Prayers from here that God's comforting Love will be your guide during this very sad time. May you find comfort in knowing that Erin's spirit lives on in all that surrounds you...the beautiful butterfly that flutters about, the soft singing song bird in a distant tree, the beautiful rainbow at the end of a storm, that dancing snowflake that lands on your face. Erin's spirit is alive and she will be your Angel from heaven above.
With thoughts, prayers and hugs,
Carol Krummel
