Every time I drive by the house you grew up in, and that's a lot because my mom still lives in the neighborhood, I think of you...growing up together...almost 12 years of school together, church classes together etc...I know you are in a wonderful place, but, you are missed.

Erin and I met in the fourth grade. She taught me the joy of playing with Barbies! I got my first Barbie doll when I was 10 and Erin, myself, and Mary Ann Fisher wore those dolls out!
I remember her frying french fries in her kitchen, sleepovers in the basement full of giggly girls with hot pancakes in the morning. The three of us hung out together every summer.
Erin was always a beautiful girl surrounded by boys. I lost track of her after her first marriage. On a trip to Shopko, I ran into her and her mom--here I was with 3 or 4 kids of my own with a tummy tire and messy hair--and Erin was wearing short shorts and a cute t-shirt looking like a supermodel. I am happy for her to be able to overcome a bad marriage, have a great career, enjoy a happy family life, and still be herself.
I was very sorry at her passing and very sorry for her brothers and sister and parents and husband who I know miss her badly.

I remember how beautiful Erin was!! Who couldn't be a little jealous of her for that! So sweet too!! I remember her from freshman days at BYU also and ran into her one day at the gym several years after that, I was so happy she remembered me! We talked and caught up for a while and even then I was struck by her beauty! You are very missed Erin!

I used to talk with Erin in the BYU Woman's locker room, after classes. She had one class, and I had another. The last I remember of her, she was excited because she was looking forward to her marriage. She was really beautiful. She was sweet, and I am sorry that she is no longer with us.

I remember 1st and 2nd grade in the same class w/Erin, then we moved to Alabama and returned at Jr High time. There were Church get togethers and sleep overs and LOADS of laughter!! I'll never forget one time when the tight jeans were the big deal and Erin telling me she had to have her Dad use the pliers to pull up her zipper that morning before school because the jeans must have gotten dried too tight in the clothes drier or something!! She was hilarious! Finding out she's gone is tragic and I have no doubt her loss is a HUGE one to many, many people.

I remember how sweet and kind Erin was. She always was smiling and friendly to me. The world is less without people like Erin!Ewan Davis
I was 4 and Erin was 5 when she moved into the new house across the street. That was the start of our lifelong friendship. My family had just moved from Vancouver and I was so excited to have a friend in the neighborhood. Erin was so many things. Most people saw the kindness and caring that shone through in her. As with most of us, she was not as confident as she let on but was determined to please people and was quick to reach out to those who were in need or isolated. She was optimistic and adventurous, getting into her share of trouble. She loved boys, she loved people, she loved to sing, when tight pants were a thing, it was always a process to get dressed which sometimes included pliers but always included lying on the bed and tugging on the zipper. She was a girly girl growing up with 4 brothers until a sister finally came along and so she always took the time to look her best and put on her biggest smile. Erin was funny, silly, sociable and giving. Until we meet again, sweet friend!
