Erin and I were only 2 years apart, and grew up together not only Auntie and Niece, but as friends. She was very kind-hearted, spunky, and had a way of finding the good in any situation. I regret that we didn't get to see more of each other before she passed, but I'm thankful my last words to her were "I love you." Erin knew and loved Jesus, and she's with Him now. 

Love you Erin 💗.

Ryan and I celebrating Easter with our Auntie Erin ❤️.

Erin 4 years old, and myself 2 years old. We were childhood playmates ❤️. We always had fun together.

Erin was around 4 years old here. She had a sunny, bubbly personality from the very beginning. 🥰

With our mom, Kay, our sister, Billie, and our grandmother, Billie June. 

Rest and enjoy peace in the arms of Jesus, my sweet sister. You maintained your sweetness and continued to love others, no matter how much pain you were in, until the very end and I believe your reward must be great in Heaven. I love you and I’m proud of you. I will see you again.  Until then, I will miss you. I miss you already. 
Extending my sincere condolences for your loss to Julio, Alec and Jessica. 

May YH WH send a comforter to your family.  Rest Erin in peace and thank you for the love and friendship.

Erin, you  are still to date one of my most hard-core walking partners. I'll never forget our walks, our boys, our mini van trips or your friendship. I wish we'd been able to stay in better touch these past several years. But I hope you know, how much you were absolutely cherished. You were always such a kind, caring person. And I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. Much love to your kids and the rest of your family my dearest. I watched your tiktoks and you were still a happy person even when you were ill. Erin....dang it girl. You will be forever missed! I know you're giving Angel baby some big hugs and lots of love.
