I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of Erin. I first met her in the '80's through mutual friends. I was able to reconnect with her in 2000, and saw her occasionally. Tom was the best man at my wedding in 2005.

Erin was, to me, family. From the very first, driving school busses together to her standing right by my side when my loved ones left this live to recently sharing our observations about our "Golden years", Erin has been closer to me then anybody else in my life. While I am somewhat comforted knowing I now have a very fiesty angel always on my side in heaven I will miss her earthly presence every day for the rest of my life. I send light and love to her boys and all of us who, when we think of her, smile.
