My heart goes out to Eve, Clint, and both of Erin’s children. I’m terribly sorry for your loss. What a miracle that Erin was an organ donor and was able to save three other lives upon her passing. I live in Colorado so I won’t physically be able to make the viewing but I will be there in spirit. Erin I love you for who you were and hold no grudges or resentments for the choices you’ve made with your life. Rest easy.
