so everyone has heard about erin. i've decided to type out everything i know. post a comment if you know anything else.
Thursday morning Erin wasn't feeling well at work camp. they were in tennessee putting siding on houses.she went into the bathroom and some of the people working there discovered her in there collapsed. her heart had stopped and she wasn't breathing. they did cpr for 10 minutes. they took her to a nearby hospital then took her to the children's hospital in knoxville. she was in a coma, not responding to sound or voice, until saturday morning. she passed away around 10:30 that morning.
Erin i'm going to miss you so much. seminar is never going to be the same. and there are so many coincidences throughout this whole thing. you convinced me to have a birthday party on friday, the last day you ever spent in northville. you came and got me at teh library and we went to cvs (which is where i was walking when my phone rang about the coma) and then to the dancing eye gallery to get my friend emily's grad present. your mom picked us up and dropped me off at the library. ross drove me home and i lazed around for awhile. then you showed up early to help me decorate. i gave you a tour of my house and then carlen showed up. we all tried to decorate but were kind of challenged. especially the "CHEERS FOR 2000 YEARS" streamers you tried to hang up. then we discovered that we had white balloons so we blew them all up and drew faces for each person coming to the party. i still have yours that you made. we ate pizza and then we opened presents. you gave me this amazing painting that was a collageish thing of you me and stephanie. it says "Friends till the end" on it which was so true. i'm going to scan it and put it online. then we went down to the lake and played dizzy stick. you had to go home so we all walked back to the house and met your sister half way coming towards us. the last photograph i have in my mind is of you and steph, walking up the street, you both in yellow shirts. i gave you a hug goodbye, made a joke about you going to work camp with matt and then you left.
thursday around 10 i actually wondreed when you were coming home. i almost called katie, but didn't. if only i had. on saturday, july 2nd around 10:30 i had really really really bad cramps so i was laying down and i was waiting for my mom to come home, b/c katie's cell number was in her car. so when she came and i ran out to her and grabbed it. i just had a feeling. it's so weird how the pieces of the puzzle fit together. i'm really going to miss you erin. you were the person i would call if needed to be cheered up or if was extremely bored. i'm going to miss you so much. i love you eri/n. i love you.
erin, amy, kari, steph, me
my two best friends in the whole world.
the three musketeers and the lurker. note the painting. that's the one that erin made me. i scanned it in:
