I pray for peace for her family and friends. It is incredibly difficult to see someone vibrant and alive one day, and gone the next... the ones who charm and delight us (like Erin) leave such a vacuum when they go. I knew her from her days at both Gators and Applebee's, and her easy manner and effortless competence will be irreplaceable. She always took time to say hello to me. It is so very very hard to have to say goodbye to her.

My condolences to her family, friends, colleagues.
