We are so sorry to learn of the passing of your beautiful daughter. It is an irreplaceable loss. I recall fondly our days at St John's and the Sunday Family Mass where your children were always in attendance, always standing out as so well behaved and dressed so beautifully. Her short life was one of accomplishment. It is so hard to understand the loss of someone so meaningful to us. God's plan is such a mystery and at times like this, comes with so many questions. May the Lord comfort you in the days ahead and give you faith and strength to carry on. Assuredly Erin has been welcomed into heaven, in a special place, awaiting our arrival. God Bless you all.
