We are greatly bereaved at this terrible loss. Erin was a bright light in my life since the early 1990s, and I will cherish the very last jar of pickles I have from her. Wish I could be there for services and to support Jeff and the boys. All my love to all those who will miss her bright spirit <3
My thoughts and prayers are with her children, husband and family. I attended CJHS and LHS with Erin. We were locker neighbors at CJHS, colorguard teammates at LHS and co workers at Brandon Woods. We reconnected on FB and shared memories and cracked up at our stories. I am so sorry and saddened by the news. Go with Jesus ELB.
I have to admit I am in a bit of a shock. Erin and I weren’t close, but always enjoyed her attitude and humor. I worked with her when we were at Lincare. So sorry for your loss.
From the moment Erin entered this world she filled a special place in my heart. She has always been focused on family… rallied , played with, and loved her siblings and cousins, loved and cared for many of her friends children while she waited for her own 2 special sons to be born. She was a confidant, a friend and support to her mother from the time she was a small child. My heart aches for her… and for her family…especially her beloved boys Oscar and Isaak…Whom I am certain she will be watching and guiding in a new way…throughout their lives.
Many thinks to family and friends for all you are doing to support The boys and Jeff during this difficult time.
So sorry for your loss. We are here for you. Sad that I only spent time with her once. I was looking forward to getting to know such a beautiful heart. JP sends his condolences and lends a listening ear to his friend Jeff. Much respect and sympathy to the family.

I worked with Erin at Lincare, and she was such a beautiful person. We lost contact after her move to the VA and mine to Texas, I’m in such shock. Please know that I am prying for you her family and sending love and condolence from Texas.
Just want you to know that friends and family from Nall Avenue Baptist Church in Prairie Village are praying for you. We praise God for the love Erin provided others and the love that each of you were able to give to her life. Our hearts grieve with you.
“God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes
and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.
The former things has passed away.” (Revelation 21:3,4)
Erin was my first friend in jr high. We stayed friends all these years and had a blast in colorguard together in high school. I’m so sorry for your family’s loss.
Erin was a great friend, wife and mother. She was so loving and a caring person. She is gone to soon. We will keep her memory in our hearts as we help the family Jeff and the boys move thru these days. Praying for them.
I met Aaron doing swim class at OrthoKansas, PA, sorry to hear of Aaron passing, she was truly a sweet person getting to know her. It was a pleasure, rest in peace, my friend.
Remembering my beautiful niece Erin who I never met but whose life and untimely passing have great meaning for me. I deeply regret missing so many opportunities to know her though I lived in a nearby town “We all have our struggles,” her mother said when I expressed my regrets about the complications in my own life that led to this situation. I’m so glad I met her brother, and I hope to see my nieces and great nephews again. Meeting them were moments I treasured and opportunities that Erin’s life tells us we should pursue before it’s too late.
