Sweet Erin





I want to dedicate this post to my sister Erin. I can hardly write through the tears, but I had to express my love for her. Erin passed away today. She has really struggled for the last few years and I think Heavenly Father knew it was time to bring her home. I feel great comfort knowing that she isn't suffering anymore, but I want my sister back. I would give anything to hold her and tell her one more time how much I cherish and love her. I am so grateful to know that families can be together forever. I know I will be with Erin again. I know that I am a better person because of her Christlike example. I love you sweet sister. "Nite, love you, see you in the morning."

Shannon, I am so sorry. I think I knew your sister when I was single. What happened? That just breaks my heart. You are in my prayers.

Shannon- I am so sorry to hear about Erin. First of all, I found your blog through Holly's who is a friend of Joselyns and I went to school with both of them. Anyway, Mary Ann just told us about Erin. I remember her just as she looks in that last picture you posted! She had the sweetest spirit and you both have the strongest testimonies! Aren't you so happy we have the knowledge we do and will be able to be with our loved ones again! I hope you are doing alright. I know I haven't talked to you guys in a really long time, but when I look back at the "single days" I come across some fun pictures! Wishing you well-Derick and Becky

My heart goes out to you and your family. It does change your life so much when you lose someone that you hold so close. We'll have to get together and talk. I'm so sorry to hear about this. We'll have to get together and talk. Your kids pictures are in the works but not done quite yet. They turned out great! Also I'm glad to know you have a blog I didn't even know. And I love the scripture time blog on your links, I'll have to add yours and that one to mine.
