Erin was always, always one of my dearest friends. She was kind, thoughtful, so, so smart. She was dedicated in everything she set her mind to but most importantly - she was a fiercely loyal friend.
Friendship and love with Erin was one of life's greatest gifts. She was a bright and shining start of a human. Always supportive, always free to listen to what was on your mind, and always willing to share incredibly sound advice. Her joy and zeal were contagious and I will miss her so, so much.
