| Comments: | I know how it feels to loose someone that you love. There are really no words that can be said to ease that pain, but I'm really sorry. Just thank God for the time that you did have with Erin. I never got the opportunity to know her, but I'm sure she was a wonderful person. Prayer will do amazing things, so that is something that I do on a daily basis. God changes lives. I believe that. |

Look above, of you Erin we see and memories of you are thought aloud. Image of you with wings soaring in the clear blue sky. A view, a vision so spectacular, that has caught everyone's eyes. When it's dark and gloomy, the sun soon appears, you are the ray of light that keeps shining on through. Oh woe is me! Loss of hope so down and depress, but soon my mood changes a smile upon my face at the thought of you. Whether day or night you always sparkle, you are a wish upon a star. Thus this wish is for you Erin, Happy Birthday! no matter where you are. Xoxo Tina |

I wish I knew what to say and do at the time. I just had a sudden feeling of reverence; it's hard to explain. Looking at this website today stirred up some old thoughts and feelings. Anyway, I won't forget Liana, stay strong :) We don't talk much anymore, but that doesn't mean I don't still think about you and your strength. |

| Comments: | To the parents: I was searching the internet and I came upon Erin's site and read it. She seems like one of those people that you would really want to know just by looking at her. I am so sorry for your loss and I understand how you feel. Recently my family and I have lost a great friend to brain cancer. It was a battle but she made it two years, the most time she was given. Erin seemed like a wonderful person and may she Rest in Peace. |

| Comments: | Although I’ve never met you Erin, from the sounds of it you were an amazing person. I came to know you through your sister Liana. Even though you are not here with us physically, you still touch us spiritually and emotionally. I see certain traits and similarities of you that lives on through Liana; from the piercing blue eyes to the beautiful smile and an angelic face. You are an angel Erin. Every step of the way through good or bad, you are there to give us HOPE and STRENGH for a never ending tomorrow. To many of us you are a role model. In my words from my heart and soul. You are like the sunshine that comes to us after the rain. Like that rain only with your presence you’re able to rid of our sorrow and pain. Thank you to you and the rest of Erin Gannon’s family for sharing this inspiring story. Because I, myself have lost a close special person to cancer. Thank you Erin for having been who you are! You are deeply missed!! This is something that you’ve inspired me to write. I dedicate this to Erin Gannon and families with cancer members.
Cancer I wish I had an answer On how to cure cancer. It comes in different forms, Believe it or not this disease is not out of the norm. Prostate, lung(s), brain and breast(s) It gets you down even when you’re at your very best. Some days you feel great not feeling the symptoms or seeing any signs. Also not knowing if you’ll survive, maybe one day having to leave loved ones behind. We’re all dumbfounded to how cancer even exists. Without knowing how to prevent it but have it still persist. Hopefully one day we’ll find a solution. Finally putting an end to cancer’s evolution. |

| Comments: | Erin,
Although I may never have met you, as though I feal like I've known you as long as I have known your sister. There is a piece of you in Liana’s heart that will forever be there and you may not be with us physically but your spirit is with us always. Your story has inspired me and so many others. It makes me realize that life is precious and never to take it for granted. Through your sister, I have learned so much about you. You may not have realized at the time but you taught her many life lessons before your time came. I believe everything happens for a reason and God chose you to be one of his angels so early because you are so special to everyone and we should all look at you as an inspiration to be half the person that you were. Thoughts and prayers always suelana |

| Comments: | Dear Erin, I never knew you but wish I could have had the chance to. You have an amazing spirit and you have inspired me to become closer with God because it is true, you can place anything in his hands and he will take care of it. Always for the better. You have had alot of courage to go on living throughout your illness and for that, lots of people look up to you and admire you.
To the parents: You had an amazing daughter and you remain with an amazing spirit of a daughter. No one I've ever heard of has been as positive and caring as Erin seems to have been. You should be extremely greatful , and I'm sure you are, to have had a daughter so full of love for everyone around her and the strenght to live closely to God. The memory and spirit of Erin will always be fulfilled Sincirely, Alex (¯`·.·´¯) `·.,.·' |

| Comments: | I was looking for some Adam Gregory pictures over the net to add to my site when I came upon Erin's picture gallery. I clicked onto the picture and found a wallpaper I had made for my Adam Gregory website. I was excited to see someone use it. When I followed and looked at more of the site other than Adam pictures, I read information that was posted by Erin or about her. I just wanted to say she seemed like a magnificent person. I didn't realize she had passed until after reading some more. While looking through the pictures it seemed like she was very much alive. Coming here has made me realize that life is too short to concentrate on the smallest things that make us tick. But instead to concentrate more on what makes us happy and alive. Thanks for being such an inspiration to evceryone who comes here! |

I just wanted to let everyone know that for a brief instant Erin was living again. I will remember this experience. I can say you have touched my heart and I will not forget. |

| Comments: | Hello, I can't really say I knew Erin personally. However I've recently in the past year became friends with her sister. And everytime I see her I cant help but think of Erin. I dont know why. I didn't know her, except that she had cancer and went to my school. Then I had come on the school website and read what Erin had to say. She was very lucky. And I also believe that she inspired me in some ways, and have to many others. I'm just glad I came on the school site and read what she had to say. Got me thinking... thank you for sharing.

| Comments: | Erin, I came across your livejournal tonight and you gave me a completely renewed hope for life. I've been sick since I was 14 and am going in this weekend for another MRI and an EEG. I'm 18 right now, the age you were when you died. They think I might be having more seizures and that the previous MRI was misinterpreted. I can't believe how brave you were. People tell me that I'm very brave but I don't see it at all in myself. I feel very alone much of the time and your journal made me feel much less so. I just want to thank you for being such an honest and amazing person. I'm sure that you're with God now and are having a lovely time in heaven and you are in my thoughts and prayers. You lived a beautiful life. <3 |

| Comments: | Hello, I've just rolled in from google and found this site. I never even knew this girl was alive before I came here. I read the picture of her, explaining that she had chemo. and ect. I thought for a moment, thinking God is with her and helping her. Then I read the update. Even if I don't know her, I still cried. It is sad for one's child to pass on, but now, as far as I know, she feels no more pain. I bet she is happy and free of all pain. I also believe that she isn't gone, she's just, invisible. Like a Guardian Angel ^_^ I am sorry for your loss though, may God give you peace and grant you happiness. |

| Comments: | I didnt really know Erin personally, but I had seen her many times. I went to her funeral and I have to admit it was really inspiring. Through all the tears and all the sorrow I could tell that everyone was there to really celebrate Erin going to be with God. The place she had prepared herself for. Now since then i never really wanted to really think about that day again. My brother knows Pat gannon and Liana gannon and we had the song our computer that Pat wrote for Erin. And out fo the blue the song just came on and made me reflect on this wonderful person. Your family is truly blessed to have had someone such as Erin to live with. she is amazing and I will remeber her forever.

| Comments: | I miss Erin so much. The pain will never go away. I still pray for her everyday and talk to her whenever I feel I need to be courageous like her or whenever I accomplish something that I know she would be proud of. I recently taught 500 grade 5 and 6 students basketball for half a day as a lab for one of my classes at McGill. I know Erin was smiling over me the whole time and was very proud of the patience I showed (which she knows isn't one of my strong points). I love and miss you so much buddy. Thanks for always being there and I know you always will.

| Comments: | Someone I work with told me that St Matthew HS recently got some uniforms and I thought they had always had them (obviously I didn't go here when I was in HS-I had taken a nite course but that was all). In an effort to solve the "dispute" I decided to come check out the St. Matts website.
When I scrolled down I noticed a mention of you. I suddently was sent back to HS where I lost a friend in a drowning accident just before OAC year in 1997. He was school President and really kind.. I reminisced about him and thought "the same sad trajedy occured here... 7 years later.." so I decided to click on the link and this brought me to your story. I probably don't belong anywhere near this page, and certainly hope I am not intruding but I thought I would say how deeply affected I was when looking at this website. It is very beautiful, you are forever surrounded by people who love you and your story is really inspiring. I then realized how rediculous my "problems" or worries were and how I spend most of my days miserable rather than enjoy life. Words can not adequately express how your story makes me want to live... and I thank you. I hope you are happy whereever you are.... <3 |

While retyping your story for our students' newsletter, I became eager to turn on the Internet and search out your story. What a wonerful person you must have been. Many of us have come across someone who has had to deal with cancer. It is an extremely difficult disease to cope with. I thank you sincerely for sharing your love and experiences with us. |

| Comments: | Although I only met Erin on a few occasions, I had the amazing honor to learn a little about her life from her best friends. Myself and a friend stayed with one of these girls, Theresa for a few weeks this past year and it was beautiful to hear about the ways Erin impacted so many lives, not only in the way she lived her life but in the way she died: always full of love and hope and laughter. To her family and friends, the love you showed Erin is the kind of love that some people spend their entire lives praying for! Thank you for showing the world what true love is! May God bless you...you are always in my prayers. And to Erin, I pray that one day I'll make it to Heaven and see you again!
In Christ, Trace |

| Comments: | To the family of Erin:
I was playing around online and I decided to type in my name and see what came up. I clicked on Erin's webpage and got completely sucked in. Her story is amazing and she sounds like a wonderful person. I am very comforted by her story about the day she thought she was supposed to die and God called her. My brother passed away on February 6, 2004 and I know he is in heaven. He was 23. Sometimes life is very tough and I have to think twice about whether or not heaven exists. I am positive it does. People like Erin and my brother (Travis Gannon) do not just dissappear. I know they are up there in complete and absolute peace and happiness. I know the pain that you all are going through and I will pray for your family. You know you will see Erin again one day. God Bless yall. Sincerely, Erin |

| Comments: | I have spent some time looking at Erin's page, reading her story, and looking at the pictures. After doing so it is impossible not to understand what a beautiful person she was. Her strength of character jumps off the pages. I lost my father to Pancreatic Cancer a year and a half ago, to loose a loved one to this disease is devastating, but living with God in one's life allows us to accept it.
God Bless You. |

| Comments: | I hope you guys are still posting the messages, cause I won't forget about erin for a while. I have been struggling with extreme shyness for too long and I have taken erins inspirational words to heart. Whenever it seems hopeless I look to her incredible story and find inspiration. This is how I am honouring the extraordinary person she was, by forever remembering her life and applying it to my own. It takes me enormous courage to even post this, but I'm asking anyone to email me and give me a little help or advice for my shyness problem. Please feel free. Don't be shy... thats my job. You will not only be helping me but you will help keep erins memory going strong. There are so many people I've always wanted to talk to but just can't. My shyness has gotton to the point where I will gladely welcome any form of help and support from anyone willing to give it to me. ANYONE. People who know me or have been in my class at at one point or another. Help me wake up a little.
I just recently ran in an extremely tough race on the weekend and almost decided to give up because of the pain. But the thought of the unbreakable courage erin demonstrated kept me driving throught the hole race. I am dedicating my medal to Erin. |

| Comments: | I think this website is really beautiful. I am a grade 9 at St. Matts and I just wanted to say that Erin was really beautiful and a true fighter! She was really lucky to have the friends and family that she had, they seem like great people. I know it must be hard to lose your sister Liana, and I wish you only happiness for the rest of your life. Dear Erins parents: losing one of your children is like losing a part of yourself, and I hope you find happier days in the future. I lost my grandfather to cancer and I know the pain you feel when someone dies to a desease like it. I wish you only happiness and brighter, livelier days. I hope you never have to feel this pain ever again. Good luck for the future. Erin was a true angel sent to give us a message "Embrace life, and keep fighting till the end".
With Love, Xxoo Dara Potvin ooxX |

| Comments: | Erin,
I wanted to express my gratitude to you and I didn't know how. WOW! You have changed my life. I praise God for your life, your strength and your faith. The funny thing is that you don't even know me. You probably have seen me around but we never meet and to think you have had such an impact on my life. So what did you do? TONS! I don't want to focus on the negative in my life, but God used you, your life, to transform mine. I was in a place in my life where evil ruled. I tried to live my life the way I thought I was suppose to live it. However, I just ended up hurting myself. I slipped into a depression and everything in this world seemed hopeless. So hopeless that I wanted to die, to take my own life. Death and suicide controlled my every thought. I have been continually updated on your story. I know some of your extended family. I always thought you were so strong and such a role model, God's gift. I went to your funeral (sorry to say this) but almost out of a sense of obligation to those that I know who were related to you. That week was the worse week of my life. I went to your funeral with reservation and with my heart still closed off to Jesus and all that He wanted for me. I have had a faith for years, but I didn't know what it meant to give my life to Jesus. I knew I was at a point in my spiritual journey where I needed to give my life to Jesus or to slowly decay into death. I was so sacred to give up control of my life. I was so scared to let Jesus come into my heart and see what a mess it was. I wanted to be forgotten. I didn't feel as though I belonged. I wanted to continue to control my life even though it was literally leading me to death. And than I went to your funeral. I was touched as many people were. But I was still caught up in my own self-hate. At the end of the eulogies I believe your uncle stood up to read a letter you had written. The words were spoken but to me it sounded like Jesus was whispering in my ear. Your words changed my life. Your words saved me from death. As i heard those words I repented. For the first time ever I opened my heart and I asked the Holy Spirit to come into my life. I asked Jesus to become a part of me. I gave him my life. When I tried to control my own life it got me nowhere. I gave my life fully and truly for the first time ever that day. I felt the Holy Spirit come into my life and fill me at that moment. I decided that my will was no longer sufficient. God's will now leads me. His life lives in me. Everyday I re-commit myself to Him and His will. Why do I write all this down. Cause I know you are listening and reading this. God preformed the greatest miracle in my life, through you. I was as good as dead and He used you to change my life, to save me. I never met you, however, there isn't a day that goes by that I thank God for you in my life. I truly believe you performed a miracle. Your suffering saved me Erin. And I thank you, I thank God for you everyday. People think at different times that when a loved one dies that they will be forgotten about. I never met you and I will never forget about you. You have done so much good in this world in so little time. You truly live God's will and did His work through your faith, strength,love, and suffering. I admire you greatly. God had a plan for you. I don't know what that plan was or is. But I thank him for including me in it. My life has completely changed. I dedicate myslef to God every single day. I live by the slogan, "Let not my will be done, but let the will of my Father always be done." It has saved me! I'm entering a long struggle ahead to discern God's will in my life. Thankyou Erin for all that you have given me, and for your faith, love and honesty. Thank you for being the sacrifice that gave me new life. I know you are rejoicing with Jesus. You are a miracle that performs mircales. You will never be forgotten. God Bless |

Why did you have to go?,do you know how that makes me feel, Sometimes I think it will take forever, to make my heart heal. You are the star in the sky, the light of the sun, Yours is the voice thatI hear in my dreams as I run. Everyone says “its time to let go”, So how do I go on, time moves so slow. I continue to feel the hurt, from the loss of the one that I loved, I hope that someday, I will see you in the heavens above. I am so tired of the hurt and the pain, Someone please help my life I want to regain. Oh dear loved one, please come in my dreams, So I know that it is time, to mend all the seams. By having peace in my heart, I don't have to say goo bye, I'll see you someday, so please help me to try.

| Comments: | I am truly amazed after reading this website and hearing about Erin's story. What an incredible person! I am touched, and though I never knew Erin this has had a huge impact on me.
The Dash-- I read of a man who stood to speak At the funeral of a friend. He referred to the dates on her tombstone From the beginning...to the end. He noted that first came her date of birth And spoke the following date with tears, But he said what mattered most of all Was the dash between those years. For that dash represents all the time That she spent alive on earth... And now only those who loved her Know what that little line is worth. For it matters not, how much we own; The cars...the house...the cash, What matters is how we live and love And how we spend our dash. So think about this long and hard... Are there things you’d like to change? For you never know how much time is left, That can still be rearranged. If we could just slow down enough To consider what’s true and real, And always try to understand The way other people feel. And be less quick to anger, And show appreciation more And love the people in our lives Like we’ve never loved before. If we treat each other with respect, And more often wear a smile... Remembering that this special dash Might only last a little while. So, when your eulogy’s being read With your life’s actions to rehash... Would you be proud of the things they say About how you spent your dash? --Linda Ellis |

Soft as breath upon my skin, I feel you come back again, And it's like you haven't been, Gone a moment from my side Like the tears were never cried Like the hands of time are holding you and me And with all my heart I'm sure, We're closer than we ever were I don't have to hear or see, I've got all the proof I need There are more than angels watching over me I believe Oh, I believe Now when you die your life goes on It doesn't end here when you're gone Every soul is filled with light, It never ends and if I'm right, Our love can even reach across eternity I believe I Believe~Diamond Rio |

| Comments: | My name is Doug Dewar,
I first heard Erin's story in the Ottawa Citizen. Reading the article, it sent shivers down my spine hearing of her story. I wrote down her webpage address hoping there would be more about her on there. I have had cancer myself (leukemia) and can relate to some of the suffering Erin must have went through with treatment, I wouldn't have known the pain she dealt with, but I have been through chemotherapy and radiation. Hearing of her passing it made me feel like I have lost a friend. Though I was never lucky enough to meet Erin, its just the thought someone losing their life to a disease I have battled twice myself (cancer) is really hard to hear. I was treated at CHEO the first time I was diagnosed, but never had the chance to see or meet Erin. From what i've read about Erin she sounds like a very special girl who had alot of support from her friends and family. Hearing her story and seeing her pictures makes me want to get more involved in helping other people battling this courageous battle. God Bless Erin's Family and Friends "A friend is like a rainbow. They brighten your life when you've been through a storm." |

| Comments: | First of all i would like to send my condolenses to the Gannon family, and Erin's friends.
I am a student who goes to St.Matts. I never got to personally meet Erin, but i saw her in the halls a few times. Everyone I know has heard Erin's courageous story, and i don't know anyone who wasn't inspired. When i first heard about Erin i was deeply touched and i started to pray for her well being right away. Then a few days before the bear hug i was able to visit her website, this truly touched my heart. I haven't had very much experience dealing with cancer, but the bear hug really raised awareness. Everyone knows that the bear hug was truly for Erin, and it wouldn't have been possible without her. Erin has inspired me, and changed my life. I know that many people will say that, but it's so true. She has taught me many different lessons, and i thank god for her life. St. Matt's was deeply saddened to hear about Erin's passing but she left everyone with something more than she could have ever known. *God is very lucky to have one of his angels back with him in heaven* Erin, thank you for being such an amazing person, you have, and continue to inspire many people and you are truly an angel!

I graduated at St. Matt's in 2002 and luckily had the chance to meet Erin. I believe that when there is a loss of a friend or family member, even a school mate, it allows people to become close. I believe everyone as a community has grown closer. Thank you Erin for touching my life!

| Comments: | I never had the priviledge to meet Erin. I first heard about her and her experiences with cancer at a school meeting to pray the rosary. The chaplen had been St. Matthew's chaplen before and knew Erin very well. We always prayed for her and healing upon her and her family. When the news of her death was placed upon us, we all were extremely sorry and brought down. Our world lost another very appreciated and loved citizen and will always be remembered..... at Holy Trinity, around the community and around the world.
Erin has gone to a better place. She is by God's side right now, looking down on us, watching over us at this very minute, every minute of the day. She is in good hands.... God bless you all... |

| Comments: | Hi,
I'd like to offer my deepest sympathie to all of the Gannon family. I did not know Erin but reading her story in the newspaper and her website really touch me. I lost my syster at age 25 from a brain tumor cancer and since then had a bad time coping with it (could not really talk about it or even think about her too much or it would hurt so much). Reading about Erin's story reminded me a lot of her... they seemed to be similar in so many ways. I just want to say to the family that even if she's gone in body she will always be with you especially when you most need it... it's like they can still give us some strengh from wherever they now are. Hang in there. Life is beautiful and is worth living every moments out of it. |

I just wanted to say how truly sorry I was to hear of Erin's passing. She was a gifted dancer and one I truly enjoyed teaching dance to.

I had heard about the Bear Hug in the media of course but had no idea of its origin. While in the school that late afternoon I was very touched by the energy, passion, and enthusiasm of the staff & students. Coincidentally my oldest child is five days older than Erin and Erin's friend Lindsay played soccer with my daughter for the Ottawa Internationals. God bless Erin. My heartfelt prayers for you and your family.

| Comments: | I, like everyone else that has seen or talked to Erin saw something unique and special about her attitude to life. I had heard Erins name numerously on the morning announcements but I had never seen her in person until the beginning of last September.
The first time I saw her was in Philosophy class. I knew this was the girl that had the cancer but sadly at the time I never new what kind of person she really was and how alive she really was. It was easy to see that she was a pretty nice person but it wasn't until our class had a special service in the school chapel dedicated to Erin where I started to grasp the kind of person she really was. I don't recal the name of the service but it involved each of us addressing the positive qualities of each person in the class. It was a very refreshing and inspiring experience. It was all simple and quiet until it was Erins turn. Everyone came together and talked about the special qualities she had and how she touched the lives of so many people. I then started to understand the hope and faith but more importantly the courage that she had. She united the entire community with her courage. I sometimes regret not talking to her and getting to know her but I feel privileged to have seen her and listen to her story. The story of her life has inspiried me more then I ever thought and even though the sadness of her passing has been overwhelming at times it is nothing compared to the inspiration and hope she has shared with everyone. She will not only be an inspiriation for those effected by cancer but for all people with struggles. I have been shy all my life and have trouble opening up to people, but no matter how hopeless it may seem at times she taught everyone that courage and willpower have no limits. I know that someday I will overcome my shyness and when I do I will thank God and Erin and the life she lead. To the family, God bless you all |

| Comments: | I have never had the pleasure to meet Erin but I have been following her journey for a couple of months now. Erin was a very strong willed girl who can teach us all a lesson on how to live our lives No matter how sick she was she never gave up and always kept a positive attitude. She was determined and dedicated as proven by her hard work preparing the bear hug.
To Erin, I too share in the love of soccer. I have been playing for almost 20 years now and I would never be able to imagine something holding me back from playing. The sickness you had held you back from doing so many things that you loved but you still had such a strong heart and did everything you could to perservere and I look up to you for that. To the family, I realize that this must be such a hard time for you but you had such an amazing daughter. Her impact on society has affected so many people in so many ways. I do not even know Erin personally but she will always hold a special place in my heart. She has showed me indirectly to live life to the fullest and appreciate every day I live. Erin is in God's hands now where he is taking care of her. God Bless you Erin, Gina |

I can sympathize with the family & understand as I remember 4 years ago this April when my sister died from bone & lung cancer. I remember & miss her every day. I also spent 18 months by her side & she gave me strength & a special piece I've lived with ever since. I'm sure you understand what I'm trying to say. You were all (her family) very blest to have that child, grand daughter, sister, cousin & friend in your lives & as my sister gave me & my family the strength to go on. You'll never forget her, she will always be part of you & through the pain will come comfort. You were blessed by an angel called Erin & she will always be with you all.
God bless you all & keep Erin in peace amen. Céline |

| Comments: | It is certainly touching that the family is preserving our messages.
Although I posted before, I forced myself to sit down and write what I felt. I have to admit, I'm not a person that usually applies himself, but keeping in mind Erin's encouragement to apply myself more and in honour of her memory, I have commmited my thoughts to words. I'll post an excerpt here, though not the whole thing, it's four pages. The full article I wrote is here: http://www.indymusiconline.com/blog/erin_memorial.pdf "I only came to know Erin Gannon in grade 9. I did not share my earlier years with her, as some whom I know have been blessed to. Yet, I knew from the moment I saw her, that she was different, somehow. When I first thought that, I didn’t know what exactly it was that set her apart, but I would find out very quickly. Being a social outcast, introspective, and having just moved to the city, I felt alienated by my surroundings. So many, when I first went to St. Matthew’s looked down upon me. Erin, however, did not. That simple choice she made, to see past that, has had more of an effect on my life then I could ever put into words or thoughts. A step closer to her was like being a step closer to God. She really had that kind of unconditional love and compassion for those around her. For me, it was more than just that she didn’t look down on me. It was that she talked with me, and I with her. She gave me a chance, where so many didn’t. She gave so many people a chance. Erin was a person that always was sensitive to others, and always so joyful. I always felt it easy to talk to her, which was remarkable, because I have been a very shy person throughout my life. There was a certain magic to that happiness she had, to that empathy she shared, that made talking to her easy. That isn’t to say that we talked all that much. Mostly she was with the friends she had known for a long time, and I would have never wanted to deprive them of such a beautiful person. Looking back, I felt eclipsed around her and her friends. They were always happy and sharing the good times together. That was something I never knew before then. Erin was the one that pushed for me. She saw in me that I needed that, and so she tried to give me that. After that Monday when she died, I think she can look back from the Heavens, and find solstice in her success." I was really touched that the family liked the pictures I made. It really, really make sme happy to think that I could have brought some happiness to a people who have given me such a remarkably kind person. To have had so many of her friends tell me how much they appreciated it - I can't help feel that perhaps in a small way at least Erin's push for me to just get out there a bit more ahsn't been realized. She always rooted for me, and always pushed me to go ut and find some true friends, and perhaps I have discovered them. If you follow the web page link for the "Home page URL", I put together a memorial page, as well, with some of the things I've wrote on Erin, the article from the Sun, and some of the comments from before that really touched me. To the Gannons, you have my undying thanks for giving to us such a wonderful person, and you can be nothing less than proud of what she did with her life, because she drew that inspiration from but one place, other than herself, and that is you. (I apologize for the length of this post, but I've just had so much on my mind about Erin.) - Peter Dodge |

But there was a miracle. 3 more years and lots of souls were saved and much more. I know now that she is praying for us now. The Gannon family and the Muise family is still in our prayers. God Bless.

| Comments: | I never really got a chance to meet Erin, I never really new her story...until recently when my teacher had told me about her. First I just want to say to Erin's parents that you did a great job raising your daughter, she seems like a really nice girl, filled with hopes and dreams that truly inspire everyone. Looking over her website, her story really sort of gives you this sense of reassurance, like shes saying, its okay everybody like dont be scared to die. When reading what happened to her on Christmas Eve it just truly leaves you in awe. Its a shame I never got a chance to meet Erin, but your story is truly one I wont forget. Much love to your family and I know your probrobly watching down on all of us from the beautiful sunset in the sky.
God Bless |

| Comments: | I am awful sorry to hear about this tragic loss and give my sympathy to the Gannon family and friends. Erin was an amazing person, and although I did not talk to her much, I can remember this one time I lent her something and she was so thankful and nice about it. She never did anything to hurt anyone and I am very sad to see her leave. Maybe she was an angel who was sent here from heaven to make sure we were all doing our best, but then God had to take her back because He needed her. I do still believe she is here with us in spirit because no one ever completely leaves. She will be with us in our hearts, prayers, memories and souls. Thank you Erin for being yourself and wonderful and loving person. Amen and God bless you. |
