Sad I won't be able to make this tonight and be with everyone there for Erin. But as sad as everything has been, it brought a smile to my face any time I popped up in all the pictures that have been shared, knowing I was lucky enough to experience so many of those moments with her and everyone else. There have been so many stories shared about Erin and her wild and infectious energy and that's all true, so I'll try to share a different one.
After some long days and weeks of camp, I remember talking to Erin and some others one night about feeling burnt out. Of course, as a veteran of many summers, she understood. So the next night, she took me out to a bar, not to go crazy, but to be offsite, have one drink, and just reset. That's who Erin was too. For as often as she brought the good time, she was just as likely to be the person to recognize exactly what you needed and how she could facilitate it.
There are so few people who can bring so much joy into the lives of everyone they come in contact with. She truly was a superhero and she will be missed.
