it has been the privilege of my life to be in Erin's life . She taught me so much - how to order sushi, make decent mashed potatoes, to love King Charles Spaniels and Barbados- but mostly she has been the embodiment of grace, mixed in with a unique and unrivalled sense of humour and the ability to make the simplest things memorable And often hilarious. Her example as an exceptional, courageous friend, daughter, and teacher will live on In all of us .

Val, I am so saddened to hear that your beautiful daughter has passed away! I am certainly thinking of you at this time, and offer my deep condolences as you celebrate her life and process this tremendous loss in yours! (She definitely looks a lot like you!)

Val, I am so sorry to hear the news of Erin's passing. She was a loved teacher of my son Peter at Ecole Charleswood. Hugs....

I had the great privilege of being one of Erin's other mothers. I loved the little girl, joyfully wise beyond her years. I was inspired by the woman she became ... so talented, caring, faithful and loving! She left far to soon...but the beautifu memories of her will last our lifetime.

I worked with Erin for almost 20 years at Charleswood. I have so many wonderful memories of shared teaching experiences, supportive professional and personal conversations (the latter often over a glass of wine) and laughter, I will always remember her for her strength, positivity, wonderful sense of humour, quick wit, intelligence and beauty. Rest in peace Erin. Sincere condolences to the family. I hope that in some small way knowing how much she was loved will be a comfort to you.

Erin was the little sister i never had. She was a wonderful, caring beautiful woman. I will miss her impeccable style and evenings watching Hell on Wheels with a glass of wine and nibbles. Courageous throughout her life. We enjoyed her company and generous spirit at Farlane. She is sadly missed. Sleep well and see you on the other side.

I met Erin in 2018 on a girls' trip to the south of Spain. She was a beautiful person, a kind soul and so very inspiring. I will never forget her. My deepest sympathy to her family and friends on your loss.

My deepest sympathy to you Val on Erin's passing. I fondly remember the close relationship you and Erin shared!

My friendship and special condolences to you and your family during this very difficult !time !

Erin was a kind, caring and devoted teacher, colleague and friend. Her glass was always half-full. Although we lost touch over the last several years, I thought of her often, especially during Jets games and our birthday week that we shared. Rest in peace, Erin. 🧚

Condolences to all who knew and loved her. ❤️

Erin was a gift to all who were fortunate to have crossed paths with her. Her kindness, gentleness and sharp witt brightened a room. Her love of teaching and dedication were admirable. I was honoured to have worked with her. Please accept my deepest condolences. May she rest in peace.

Heaven has a new angel. Erin, so beautiful, on the inside and out. Erin: graceful, kind, caring, a person of integrity, happy, fun, courageous, smart, etc., etc. Erin will be deeply missed for her beautiful presence and smile. How lucky am I to have known her, which makes saying goodbye so difficult. My memories of Erin will provide comfort, warmth, laughter, love. My dearest sympathies to her family and friends. ❤️

I first met Erin when she was knee high to a grasshopper when she and Val lived in a wonderfully big house on Wolseley Avenue. Flash forward several years and Erin began subsitute teaching at various schools in Assiniboine-South. I had the opportunity for her to substitute teach in my classes at Westdale Junior High. From the get go, she was a dedicated, determined teacher. When I had to leave mid year, the one and only person I trusted to take over my classes was Erin. Teaching Grade Seven was not for the faint of heart, but Erin embraced it, faced the many challenging students head on, and always persevered in the end. Although we lost touch over the years, I will always remember her dedication, warm heart, and enthusiasm. She touched me, and continues to touch me even more so after reading about her fierce battles with multiple sclerosis and cancer. I was honoured to know her for a brief time, but her place in my heart will remain always.

I am so sorry to read this and am so deeply sorry for your loss. I remember Erin well and very fondly. She was a beginning teacher when I met her. Her dedication, and enthusiasm sparked a love of learning in the students who were so fortunate to have her as their teacher. What a beautiful and gifted young woman and addition to our profession. Please accept my deepest condolences. My thoughts are with you.

I had never met Erin in person....wish I had. What an extraordinary woman living her brief life to the fullest. I do have the privilege of knowing her mom, Val, since childhood days and can appreciate why Erin flourished! A remarkable pair of mother and daughter. Hugs go out to you Val and Bob.❤️

Erin was a very loyal person with a spunky fun loving personality. A number family events best memory was my wedding.. she was the one rally the the cousins, friends etc to set pranks thought our home. Coolaid in the shower head was the best, very creative innovative using what was available. Heaven has gained a gem!

Thank you for sharing this with all of us , Val. I am one of many chilodhood friends from Winnipeg who have rerunited over the years , sharing our stories, our memories , our lives now!

In my experience the ones we dearly love are never lost and remain in our hearts forever. Sending love to you especially , dear Val, and to the family and friends there.

I'm so sorry Val for the loss of your loving daughter. Prayers for you and family thinking of you at this time.🙏♥️♥️♥️

I had the utmost privilege of working with Erin for 9 years at École Charleswood. Along the way, I was fortunate to have developed a personal friendship with her as well. The way she spoke to our students, and captivated their respectful attention has always inspired me. She was always full of fun and innovative ideas, and I absolutely loved listening to her read to the students. I miss my colleague and friend dearly. My prayers are with Erin's family and close friends.

It was my privilege to know Erin as we worked together on the Manitoba Association of Teachers of English, attending meetings and putting on annual conferences. She was a clever, caring teacher with a warm and generous personality.

I had a special place for Erin in my life. She help keep me grounded through college and would travel To UND for weekend visits full of revelry and laughter. Love you Erin! Will never forget you!

One of the kindest, most caring, generous, and loving persons I have ever met. The world is a little colder and darker now. But Heaven rejoices with a new angel.
