Loved seeing her posts on facebook..she was eccentric which I love! Stunningly beautiful. You could very much tell she was a loyal soul! Spoke so highly of her friends and family members and I loved how loyal she was to Steven. I saw beauty and happiness radiate though her. Her snap chat filters that she loved lol! Her love for her dog! I will choose to remember her as the eccentric little hippie chick with a beautiful soul who made me smile often! Prayers for all of her family and friends. She will be greatly missed.

Erin was a beautiful soul... Always inspiring each of us to see the positive light thru our own darkest times or trials in our own personal lives! She loved Beastly (her dog) in which was always said to be her very best friend! She also loved catching snakes and wasn't really scared of anything! She was a proud momma, always quick to brag on her daughter Autumn! She also loved Steven and her mom was the light of her life as she always made sure Erin was well taken care of... Erin was a hippie chic who always celebrated 420 when the clock striked the national smoke time! And had no shame in expressing her love for herb... she was often found at the Moss Hill river and was definitely a fish..!!!! She loved Mexican food and music!!!! God how I loved our visits and memories.... She was anything but boring! Quick come backs and the life of the party! Could shake that booty and dance like no other! Lol.... And could be a sweet lady yet in .00001 seconds flip into ghetto psychotic mode QUICK FAST AND IN A HURRY! NO SHAME IN HER GAME! I LOVED THIS WOMAN WITH EVERYTHING INSIDE OF ME! ME, ERIN, DEANNA, AND SARINA... SHARED SO MANY MEMORIES THRU OUT THE YRS! THIS IS LIKE LOSING A SISTER! SHE WILL FOREVER LIVE IN MY HEART!
