This is Alexa, Erin´s daughter. If anyone happens to see this, please reach out with any memories, information, photos about my mother you may have! Any small detail counts! I want to know more about her and the person she was, the things she did growing up and throughout her life. I miss her so much and I´d love to continue to heal from the pain of losing her so young!
Thanks in advance!

We just heard the devastating news of Erin's passing. She was a wonderful person and we have wonderful memories of times we spent together at Moose Country. Our hearts will always be filled with her laughter. Our prayers go out to her family and especially her daughter.

I was shocked to hear from a mutual friend last month that Erin had passed. She and I were very close friends during our years working together at Moose Country and even though we kept in touch every so often with phone calls, it was always like no time had passed since we last spoke. I am so sorry for your loss.

My condolences to Erin's family. Just yesterday I was looking at the '88 Sibley yearbook. I recalled Erin as one of my favorite students. Then today I see her obituary in the paper. Rest in peace, Erin. May God grant peace and comfort to your family. Bless, bless. Mr. G

We may not have kept in touch after the school years, but you were a strong influence on how I carried on after those formidable years. To those Erin left behind, she was a tremendous woman; an electric personality and a kind soul. May God bless you and watch over you.
