Errin will be remembered fondly by our family. She was a dedicated and caring counselor and a great help to our sons as they made their college plans. I’m sure many other students were also touched by Errin’s friendly smile, her compassion and her down-to-earth personality. She will be very much missed! May God bless her family and loved ones in their time of loss.

To the coolest person to talk to for anything in the entire school. She was there to help me by just talking. Thanks for making things better!

So very sorry (and shocked) to hear of Errin's passing. I went to high school with Errin, and although I've not seen her in many years, I remember her very fondly. I am praying for strength for her loved ones. May the Lord bless you and keep you always.

Errin was our daughter, Thea's, roommate at IU for four years, 1986/1990. We loved Errin and appreciated her friendship with Thea. Errin will be sadly missed by us, but her memory will live on forever. Special thoughts and prayers go to Karen, DeAn and Ian. Be strong, as that is what Errin would want.

Our love, Sandy and Kenny

As the speech-language pathologist at East Washington Schools, I attended several student conferences with Errin, and I was always struck by how positive she was towards students. She always seemed determined to help each student do his/her best. She will really be missed.

I will miss working with Errin as a counselor from Prosser School of Technology. She was very concerned in helping students and I always enjoyed our conversations in trying to show students the options they have. She will be missed. She was a very loving and caring person.
