Homer, Vickie, Carrie & Brian. I just wanted to let you know in case you are still looking at Erin's page, that at Erin's funeral, I gave my life back to God. I know you know how special she was in every way possible, but I just wanted you to know how special she was and still is to me. She was such a wonderful friend, and it just brings a smile to my face to remember all the good and fun times we had together through school, sports, and staying all night with each other. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have had Erin to lead me back to God. I would like to say "thank you". May God Bless you all through life and comfort you in your times of need. I will keep you in my daily prayers. Summer

I never had the pleasure of meeting Erin, however, I know her sister Carrie very well. I've heard so many wonderful things about Erin... and all the lives she touched. Brian, Carrie and family-Please know you are lifted in prayer. Stacy Hatcher and Jason Doss

Krystal Burcham Farley Monday November 27, 2006 at 8:44 AM
This has been the longest week. Everything I see reminds me of my sweet friend Erin. I keep thinking "I can't wait to tell Erin this..." or "I need to give Erin a call and check on her..." It just doesn't seem real that my Erin is gone. Then it hits me that she is not gone. I know she is looking down on us all and whatever it was I wanted to tell her she already knows and I don't need to check on her because she is not sick anymore...I'm sure Erin is very busy now being everyone's angel. I loved her very much and will miss her forever. I love you guys and will be praying for you every day.

Carissa Lusk Sunday November 26, 2006 at 1:22 PM
I graduated with Erin, but only had a few classes with her. I have moved away since graduating but I remember seeing her working when I come home to visit. There's no words that help, but I just wanted to say Erin seemed like one of the nicest people you could possibly meet. I'm sorry I didn't know her better. Your family will be in my prayers.

Aubrey Vance-Watts Friday November 24, 2006 at 1:46 PM
Homer,Vicki,and Carrie. I can look back on the years we all went to Sunday school and BYF together and remember the good times. I hope my litle girl grows up to be a good person like Erin. God bless you, Aubrey and Amber Watts

Vickie Meehling Thursday November 23, 2006 at 12:03 PM
Mr and Mrs Adkins and Brian, I am so sad for your loss. I have no idea how it feels to lose your child,and I cannot even imagine how much sorrow you are going through. I promise I will pray for you and your family every morning, for God to give you the strength and peace that you need to get through this. It will take time but it will get easier and God will show you in many ways what Erin would want you to do. I lost a loved oned last year that was my best friend and it will not be easy but I know God will give you a peace of mind and the courage you need and thought you could never find. If you ask why please know that is normal. If you get angry that is also normal. Life is just not fair but maybe you can try to always remember how she would want you to feel and she would want you to honor her in ways that you do not even know right now. Erin was an absolute wonderful beautiful person. Please let me know if myself or my family can do anything for your family. God Bless you Vickie and Lesley Meehling and family

Amy Ward Wednesday November 22, 2006 at 11:03 PM
Erin and I had classes together at Marshall University a few years ago. I have never met a sweeter, kinder, or more thoughtful person. I will always remember her bright smile and generous heart. I am deeply saddened by her passing. Please know that your family will constantly be in my prayers. May God grant you peace, comfort, and strength during this difficult time.

Melody Sansom-Ross mdrwv30@yahoo.com Wednesday November 22, 2006 at 1:56 PM
I didn't know Erin that well although I have always been friends with Carrie and the last time I seen Carrie was at Valley Health on Hal Greer in March and I asked how Erin was doing. It broke my heart to see her death in the paper because I knew how much Erin meant to Carrie. Not only Carrie and Erin were sisters they were Best Friends. I am so so sorry for your loss. Erin was such a Beautiful young lady. May god bless you through this hard holiday season.

Debbie Thrall Wednesday November 22, 2006 at 1:47 PM

May God give you the strength to get through this day. Erin was a wonderful person. She touched us all with her positive attitude with all that she was faced with through-out her journey. Carrie, love you! Homer and Vicki, you both have so much to be proud of. Celebrate Erin's life and God Bless.

I was Erin's humanities/history teacher her sophomore year of high school. I had often told her that she should go into teaching because of the grace she eminated from her patience and kindness with others. When I saw her at the mall after graduation she told me of her plans, and I was thrilled. It wasn't long after that when I saw her that she told me of her diagnosis and that student teaching would be postponed for a while. I was so proud of the strength and hopefulness she showed each time I saw her. She had more strength in her tiny frame than some people would be able to conjure up in a lifetime. It wasn't the diagnosis, either, that gave her that strength of will--it was the love she had for her heavenly Father and the way He gifted her with His presence. Anyone could see the Spirit working within her. If only each of us could witness like Erin did in her lifetime. I am so sorry for your loss. Yet, I know that my life was more blessed for her presence, so I can only imagine the blessing she was, and still is, for her family and friends. She, and your family, will remain in my prayers. God bless you and thank you for sharing Erin with us.

Mandy Halsey Wednesday November 22, 2006 at 9:46 AM
My heart goes out to Erin and her family. I actually only met Erin once, but she will forever have a lasting impact on my life.

Natalie Walker Wednesday November 22, 2006 at 8:29 AM
Vickie, Homer and Carrie, I am saddened to hear that Erin has passed. Your family and Erin have been wonderful examples of the Christian walk through these years of trials. I believe our purpose here on earth is to bring God glory, and you and Erin have certainly done that. God bless you and your entire family, I know there are no words a mere human can say that can bring comfort now, but Christ can, in His own time. I'm sorry I couldn't come to the funeral, but I want you to know I'm praying for you. I'm here if you need me. Natalie Walker

Dear Brian, I am honored to be a small part of your beautiful memories of Erin. Even though I didn't know her well, it didn't take much to see your huge love for, and devotion to each other. Please try to take care of yourself. All my love, and deepest sympathy.

Courtney Saunders Tuesday November 21, 2006 at 10:10 PM
I am so glad to have the privilege of knowing Erin. She is a phenomenal inspiration to my life and has brought new meaning to the word perseverance.

"This is what it means to be held, how it feels when the sacred is torn from your life, and you survive. This is what it is to be loved and to know that the promise was, when everything fell, we'd be held." I loved Erin and know that she did not want to leave. That wasn't her plan, but take comfort in knowing that while He is now holding Erin, that He is also holding on to you all. Carrie, I love ya. Homer, Vicki, and Brian, prayers for strength and peace.

She has been in my prayers since learning of her illness, and please know that you are all in my heart and in my prayers now. May God Bless You With His Peace That Passeth All Understanding.

To Erin’s Family, Loved Ones, and Friends, My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time and I will continue praying for you. Erin will always be with us and in our memories. We all will remember Erin for her wonderful attributes. There are so many that come to mind. I will always remember her smile, optimism, sweet demeanor, and the happiness she exuded. I remember our days cheering on the All-Star Salt Rock Buddy League team, when Carrie was our coach, and the fun that all of us girls had together. Erin is now in heaven as angel. I know she is looking down on us with her big smile. May we all find some comfort in knowing she is living an eternal life with the Lord. Love and Prayers, Jamie (McMillian) Anderson

I only was around Erin for a few brief moments, but the impression she left will last my lifetime. She was a wonderful inspiration to me about how to live life. I have thought about her many times and prayed for her to be safe and comfortable. Now I will do the same for all of her loved ones. May be the peace of Christ be with you all.

Travis Burdette & Family tburdette303@yahoo.com Tuesday November 21, 2006 at 12:49 PM
I work in the float pool at Cabell Huntington Hospital. I got to meet Erin when I would occasionally work 4 North. Every time I saw her she was smiling and always stayed positive. It seemed no matter how much she hurt or how sick she became, she kept on smiling and never had a negative word about anything. She was beautiful inside and out. Her smile came from within. Her husband Brian and her parents and family were always by her side every time I saw her. Erin was a wonderful girl and had a wonderful family and husband. Of all the patients I've encountered as a nurse, She touched my heart more than anybody. I will never forget her sweet soft voice which spoke kind words no matter how rough the road became. I'm honored to get to meet such an amazing person. Erin's spirit will continue to live in our hearts. My deepest sympathy to her parents, family, friends, and her loving husband. Erin will be greatly missed.

Sarah Frye AnmlNrse@aol.com Tuesday November 21, 2006 at 12:16 PM
I can just imagine the comfort and peace Erin must feel in God's presence. I hope and pray He provides all of you with the same peace.

Homer, our hearts and prayers are with you and your entire family as we know you are going through the hardest time anyone can imagine. We know Erin has struggled for a long time and now we know that she is in heaven with our heavenly father. Everyone here at CSX is saddened by the loss of your daughter and are praying for you and your family and all who knew Erin.

Debby Frye Tuesday November 21, 2006 at 11:08 AM
Erin has been in my heart and in my prayers during her long battle, and now I know she will not have to struggle anymore.Heaven has gained an angel, but the loss we feel is shattering. May God bless you and ease your suffering for this precious loved one.

Ryan McKee Tuesday November 21, 2006 at 10:32 AM
I am a friend of Carrie's and had the privilege of meeting Erin on a few different occasions. I have prayed since the time I first heard of her condition and the Lord always seemed to put her on my mind. I truly am sorry for the deep loss that the family is experiencing right now, but also am confident that this is not "goodbye", but rather "see you in the morning" as we await the blessed Resurrection morning! John 11:25 " Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life; he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live."

Clarence & Betty Jean Mathess Tuesday November 21, 2006 at 10:32 AM
Dear Brian & family. We were saddened to hear that your beautiful wife was so ill. Our prayers are with you and your family. God bless you.

Naomi King Tuesday November 21, 2006 at 10:20 AM
Speaking as another bereaved parent, I am so sorry that you too are starting this unfortunate journey. I work with Brenda and she always spoke of how wonderful a person her son had found as a soulmate. It breaks my heart that he has had to let her go so soon, at least in the physical sense. I am sure in his heart, as well as in yours, she will be with you forever. This journey you are beginning is a difficult one, but cling to each other, talk of her often, and together you will find your way. Please feel free to contact me if you ever need an ear to listen or a shoulder to lean on.

Jessica Stastny Tuesday November 21, 2006 at 10:18 AM
I was only given the privilege of working with Erin for a few short weeks at Bath and Body Works in Huntington but I feel like I have known her much longer than that. From the time I started working in Parkersburg with her aunt Tonya until I transferred to the Huntington store I got to experience the way Erin touched so many lives even when she wasn't physically present. She was a beautiful and very inspiring person and I am so thankful to God that I got to meet her. My heart and prayers go out to all of her family and friends in this time of pain. My family also went through something very similar 3 years ago and while it is one of the hardest things to get through take joy in knowing that Erin is in a far better place and that she cannot wait to see each and everyone of you again. She was truly an angel here on Earth and now she finally has her wings in Heaven. *Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14:27

Jeanna Kerns (Hicks) Tuesday November 21, 2006 at 10:05 AM
I wanted to let you know, that my thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Jodi Eggleton Tuesday November 21, 2006 at 9:49 AM
I'm so sorry about your loss. It is a great loss for anyone who knew her. Erin was a beautiful, amazing friend and I will cherish her always. I'm so proud to be able to say that I knew her and I was friends with her. Although I didn't get to talk to her much in the last couple of years, I thought of her and prayed for her every day. She was the strongest, most courageous person I've ever met and I have learned so much from her. I can visualize her dancing around up in heaven being goofy and crazy like we all did at BBW so happy and carefree. I will be praying for your family.

Courtney Plummer Nunez Tuesday November 21, 2006 at 8:58 AM
My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time. I met Erin when we worked together at Bath & Body Works. She is one of the sweetest and most caring people I know. Even after we no longer worked together she always stayed in touch. After her diagnosis, my mother was also diagnosed with cancer. Anytime we saw each other she was always so concerned about my mother. That meant so much to me. Erin gave my mother an angel for strength and support in dealing with her own illness. I always marveled at how through her own struggles she was so selfless and concerned about others. She was such an amazing person. I feel priviledged to have know her and able to call her a friend.

Julie Hutchison Tuesday November 21, 2006 at 8:54 AM
I am so sorry for your loss. I did not have the privilege of meeting Erin personally, but she is a dear friend to my very dearest friend Sarah Napier. Words cannot describe the blessing Erin's friendship has been for Sarah. She truly was an angel sent from God and she will be deeply missed. I have had the honor of praying for Erin for a very long time and I will continue to pray for you all. "And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:7

Annie Keys Tuesday November 21, 2006 at 8:13 AM

Dolores Smith Tuesday November 21, 2006 at 7:21 AM
Brian and all the family, I am so sorry for your loss. Have been praying and will continue to pray for your comfort and strength through the Lord. May God bless all of you.

Cammie Martin andFamily Tuesday November 21, 2006 at 6:17 AM
Erin was a wonderful and caring person with whom I had the pleasure of working with at Linens n Things several years ago. Erin still came into the store and made everyone smile.Recently we had the discussion about the cancer and she really wanted to know how I was doing with mine. The strength that I drew from her was unbelievable. I cannot wxpress how sorry I am to you and your family, but knowing Erin is truly an Angel sent from God gives us all a little hope that she will be guiding us through life. For Erin will always be remenbered by myself as a beautiful girl with such a great smile and zest for life. May god be with you and your family during this tryng time.

Dianne Watts-Hodgkinson and Darryl Hodgkinson Tuesday November 21, 2006 at 3:06 AM
Homer and Vicki, I am Linda's sister and Carroll Ray's sister-in-law. During mine and Linda's fathers passing and afterwards Linda told me about your Erin and I prayed for her. Now mine and Darryl's Prayes are for you and all Erin's loved ones that will miss her terribly. We didn't know Erin but what we have read here on the condolences makes us see a very brave,sweet,loving and caring young woman. Linda had shown me a picture the other day of Erin's wedding to Brian, the picture you have here. She was oh so beautiful. When Linda called me and told me about Erin's passing I said a Prayed for all of you and will continue to do so. God Bless and keep all of you safe in his loving arms. I know your Erin is already safe and in no more pain in Gods loving arms right now. Dianne and Darryl

Melissa Trippett Monday November 20, 2006 at 11:55 PM
I am so sorry for your loss. I work at Cabell Huntington on a different floor, I picked up a extra shift on 4 North and met Erin. She was very sweet, and a very polite person toward me. I really appreciated her kindness. I can say from first hand what you are going through I lost my brother last year he was 25. He died from a blood clot, it was very hard thing to go through, especially for my mother. I can't say it gets any easy day by day especially with the holidays approaching, but I know he is heaven. He is celebrating the holidays with other family member(our dad he passed away in 2000). They will always be in your heart and your soul. Again I am very sorry and my prayers are with you.

Michelle Ward sunsh1ne921@yahoo.com Monday November 20, 2006 at 10:35 PM
Erin was one of the most inspiring people I have ever met. She never worried about herself only the people around her. She will be deeply missed but never forgotten. She is a beautiful person now and forever in our hearts. Love & Prayers to the Adkins and Wilson families.

Jessica Adkins Hicks Monday November 20, 2006 at 10:30 PM
Erin has been such an inspiration to me throught her strength and faith in God. I am blessed for knowing her and being able to be her friend. She always placed her concern on others first and herself second. Only Erin can make you smile when the times are tough. I will take care of your hope rock and when my baby girl is born and becomes old enough I will share the story of how Erin's grace and beauty shined to everyone. I am praying for all of you and may God's peace give you the comfort you need. Erin's life is a testimony that will live on and bring souls to the lord for long to come.

I graduated with Erin from Cabell Midland. She was one of the first people that I became friends with after beginning high school. She was always so sweet and friendly to everyone. Her positive attitude was truly an inspiration. She was an amazing person and I feel honored to have known her. Erin touched so many lives and I hope that you will find peace and comfort in that. She was an angel on earth and Heaven is rejoicing for their gain. My thoughts and prayers will continue to be with you. Continue to trust in God and He will see you through.

I am terribly sorry for your loss. Erin and I were good friends at one point. We went from elementary school through high school together. We attended Bethlehem church together, also. She was very much loved and a special person. My family and I will be praying for you guys. Please don't hesitate to contact us if anything is needed.

Paul and Jeannine Fulks Monday November 20, 2006 at 8:49 PM
We first met Erin when she was about 9 years old at the home of a young lady who married our son. In fact when Steve and Tonia were married she was a flower girl in the wedding. Over the years we would see her at family gatherings and at the little church she attended on Racoon Creek. There was never a doubt that she was a chld of God as she just beamed with love and affection for all those family members and church people. She exemplified what a young lady should be and her example will long live with those she touched. God gave us Erin for only a short time, but the quality of her life and the faith she had will be a lasting gift to us all. May God Bless this family! Paul and Jeannine

BRIAN AND KRISTINA WALLACE Monday November 20, 2006 at 7:49 PM
MY HUSBAND, BRIAN, HAS WORKED THE LAST 4 CHRISTMAS SEASONS AT B&B PART-TIME. THIS IS HOW WE CAME TO KNOW YOUR PRECIOUS ANGEL, ERIN. WE ARE BOTH SO VERY SADDENED BY HER PASSING. WE'VE THOUGHT ALOT OF HER THE LAST MONTHS, AND WHEN REQUESTING PRAYER FOR HER THRU VARIOUS FRIENDS AND FAMILY, ONE WORD ALMOST ALWAYS SEEMS TO DESCRIBE HER BEST. "SWEET". SHE WAS SO SWEET. IT MIGHT SOUND SIMPLE, BUT THERE IS NO OTHER WORD THAT FITS HER BETTER. WE BOTH LOVED HER TO PIECES, AND CAN'T EVEN PRETEND TO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOUR FAMILY IS GOING THRU, BUT WE HOPE IT GIVES YOU SOME HAPPINESS OR PEACE TO KNOW HOW MUCH SHE TOUCHED PEOPLE'S LIVES. WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE HER, ALWAYS MISS HER, AND ALWAYS PRAY FOR YOUR FAMILY. GOD BLESS, BRIAN AND KRISTINA WALLACE

My mom just told me of Erin's passing this evening. I am so very sad for you all. I never went to school with Erin, but remember playing with her at Salt Rock while Ben & Carrie's class had something going on or during those jr. high football games. I remember her as such a sweetheart and the photo shows her beauty. I can't imagine the pain you are experiencing, but each word you read from each comment will help you heal. Many people loved her and cared for her as you do. May God bless you in your healing.

Jerri BLack Monday November 20, 2006 at 6:35 PM
There are no words to express my deepest sympathy. Although I have never meet Erin I feel as if I knew her. My daughter Julie is a close friend of Sarah Napier and she has kept us updated throughout Erin's illness with different prayer request. May the peace of God, which transcends understanding keep you.

Courtney Bell cbellphoto@verizon.net Monday November 20, 2006 at 6:25 PM
Words cannot express what an honor and a privilege it was for me to photograph Erin and Brian's wedding. I have been blown away by the number of people who have mentioned her to me since that day. She was obviously very loved by so many people. She is an amazing person and I feel very blessed to have met her. My sincerest condolences to Brian, her parents, family, and friends.

Dearest family of Erin, You do not know me other than maybe from seeing me go in and out of the room across the hall from Erin's room the night she went to be with our Lord Jesus. Even thought I never had the pleasure of meeting Erin I know from her nurse Jenny that she was an amazing young woman. I know she was loved by many and that that love was returned to each of you ten fold. The night Erin entered Heaven I prayer for her and each of you constantly. I, having lost a daughter myself know the pain and devastation of the void her physical presence has left you all with. But I do pray that you know that a part of her spirit will remain with you always. May the knowledge that she is with our loving Father God in Heaven give you some bit of comfort at this time. Know that you my prayers will remain with you to help you during this sad time of good-by's for your beloved Erin. I and my nephews are facing those same good-by's in the future with my sister Janice Harris. So we understand. May God's peace and comfort sustain each of you now and untill that glorious day you will be with your dear Erin again. Sincerely, Rosemary J. Kunges Flatwoods, ky.

There are no words. The only thing that seems adequate or big enough to cover your pain is prayer. So, that is what I am going to do. That is what I have been doing. It is the only thing I know to do at a time like this. Anyone who knew Erin knows that it is by far our loss and most definitely, Heaven's gain.

Jodi Montroso Fields Jffields4@hotmail.com Monday November 20, 2006 at 12:08 PM

T.J. Lawhon Monday November 20, 2006 at 10:57 AM
Watching Erin's life over the past few years has given me such a great picture of God's grace. She always smiled when many people wouldn't have smiled. She never stopped fighting even when it looked like an impossible battle to win. She encouraged me even when I was trying to be an encouragement to her. I could talk about so many memories that I have of Erin. It didn't matter if we were out "cruisin'" on a Saturday night or skipping school for breakfast at Shoney's, she was always the best to be around. On top of that, her testimony for the Lord Jesus Christ was was unmatched. She loved God and was never ashamed of it. While I'm completely heartbroken that she's gone, our loss is most definitely Heaven's gain. I'm praying for her family and friends and I can't wait to see her again.

Michele Eichenmiller eichenmille1@marshall.edu Monday November 20, 2006 at 10:50 AM

As a former teacher at Cabell Midland High School, I will always remember Erin's smile, awesome personality, and the fact she cared so much for all the students at the school. She had a top locker across from my room and she would have to jump reach the top. Erin and I would laugh about her assignment to a top locker with her being little. I once told her, that she should consider teaching because she had such a great love for people. God has added to heaven one of the Best of the Best. Bruce Neale, former teacher of CMHS

Deb Weintraub-Dearing ddearing@bbw.com Sunday November 19, 2006 at 10:56 PM
This message of condolence goes out to Erin's family and loved ones. Just wanted to take the opportunity to share a few thoughts. I know Erin through Bath and Body Works. Erin was promoted from a sales associate to a Sales Leader and then accepted a Co- Manager position for us when she discovered her illness. How I remember Erin is, a person of great positive charcter. Always smiling and projecting such sweet tones when she spoke. Erin took pride in everything she did and this reflected in her school, work and the freindships she built. Erin held a "test" position for Bath and Body Works for a short time called "Beautiful by Nature Specialists." When I look back at this now, it seems so approriate that she held this position because Erin was "Beautiful by Nature" both inside and out! She will be miss by all. Sincerely, Deb Dearing

Melinda Starcher jeffmendimadison@aol.com Sunday November 19, 2006 at 10:15 PM
I met Erin in college. However,I went to Huntington High School and was friends with Katie Krieger and DJ Casto. Erin was always so happy and upbeat. I ran into her at a Rugby Alumni Banquet, her husband had gone to school with my husband,Jeff Starcher. We got to talking, I told her about my sister-in-law, Diana Starcher. She had colon cancer, as well as my grandmother.When I spoke of them and what they were going through, Erin was always so kind and such a good listener. She even offered her number for Diana to call her if she ever wanted to talk. This was such a testiment of her personality, willing to help others even while she struggled. I lost my mother to breast cancer. I can understand your pain, and I am sorry for your loss. Erin was such an amazing person. You all have so much to be proud of. God Bless.
