I was able to walk with Erin's team, Pinkalicious, at race for the cure. I liked to see the great pink wigs she would find to wear each year. I heard so many wonderful stories about her through her mother-in-law Roxy. Our prayers are with your family at this time of great loss.

Erin lived a full life of love and family! Being the same age as Erin it breaks my heart that she had to leave her children at such young ages. I will pray for her soul and her children. Their mother was truly loved‰_•ü

I opened the Oregonian today and glanced down to see Erin's name and learn of her passing. I immediately recognized her name from high school cross country. I was a runner too and raced against Erin in the early 90's. My condolences to her family and friends. She seemed to have lived an exuberant life and touched many lives in this short time on earth.

To the Family, I didn't know Erin but I know the Miller's. So sorry for your loss. Erin sounds like an active and fun gal. I know you all miss her and she leaves an empty spot in all your lives. Praying for you that God will heal the broken hearts. Had hoped to be at the Memorial service but a friend needs my help that day. Will be praying for you. to

Erin include myself and Sue in so many family events it was like having another family. Her spirit of fun, athleticism, and love of pink will be missed forever. Such a creative and loving woman who will shine forever in our hearts.

I've known Erin for some years but only in the last 6 months have I got to know her better. I went to help out but she really only wanted to visit and of course play some of those board games. I went hoping to be a blessing but in reality I was the one being blessed! She was truly a beautiful person and I'm already missing her! My heart hurts for her family but I also rejoice that she is in heaven...probably redesigning the angels attire! We already know she can paint a lovely sunset!

What a beautiful life story. I never got to meet Erin, but through her friend Tammy Hager, we did a fundraiser for her and her family. I was told she LOVED PINK. My thoughts and prayers to her family and friends. May she rest in peace.

Words alone cannot fill the gap left by the loss of this beautiful life. May the Lord God Himself minister comfort and love to you all. My prayers are with you.

I met Erin years ago at work. She had such an amazing smile, was so kind. Just one of those people that you truly are blessed to encounter. Erin opened her heart to pretty anyone she met and will be missed.

I'm incredibly sad to read this today about Erin. My family (Malarkey's / Frazier's) Grew up with Erin and her siblings. Eric and I were the same age. I remember the family lived on about 41st next door to Miss Copp! I didn't know Erin that well due to age ... But, her smile, her sportmenship and the person she was as kids was bigger then life! I send my love to All of Erin's Family and especially her husband and 3 children. Much much too young to go to heaven ... Breaks my heart. ‰_•ü

Death is nothing at all. It does not count. I have only slipped away into the next room. Nothing has happened. Everything remains exactly as it was. I am I, and you are you, and the old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged. Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. Call me by the old familiar name. Speak of me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference into your tone. Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without an effort, without the ghost of a shadow upon it. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was. There is absolute and unbroken continuity. What is this death but a negligible accident? Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just round the corner. All is well. Nothing is hurt; nothing is lost. One brief moment and all will be as it was before. How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again! Erin was a shining star. She will be missed by many.

Erin was a beautiful and warm loving person displaying the love of God in a truly unique way. We went on a short term mission trip together and she was so full of energy it made one feel very happy to be serving God with her. My prayers are with the family and the three beautiful children she brought into this world and Andrew who was her very faithful husband to the end.

Erin was the best person I have met on my journey in all ways. Her spirit and her zest for all things silly brought joy to all those around her. My thoughts and prayers are with her family during this rough time. To her family (all of you!), I am so so sorry for your tragic loss. She is watching over all of us and she is comfortably waiting for us us to join her.
