Allison Black says
My family and I would like to express our deepest sympathies to Erin’s family. Sawyer and my daughter Gabby went to the Monissorri school together and I only had the chance to really speak to Erin one on one via emails. I wish I had the opportunity to get to know her better but in that time I could tell she was a very special person with a very big heart. Even when she couldn’t make it to Gabby’s birthday party she sent her a gift. Sawyer and Eloise are very blessed to have their mother as their very own personal angel. I am sure she will protect, guide and love them always. My heart goes out to her family and I know that Gods love and guidance will get you thru this. Stay strong. Allison
Tia Howard says
I did not have the honor to work closely with Erin but I know she touched many around her. As a member of the work family at Leidos who mourn her loss, I pray God will comfort and strengthen her husband Jess, kids – Sawyer & Eloise, her parents, loved ones and friends during this difficult time.
Cherie & Karl Neerhof says
Our hearts ache for you and your family, Jess. What a shock and we can’t even imagine how devastated you must feel. We pray that God’s peace that passes all of our human understanding will miraculously bring comfort to your hearts. Even in the midst of unbearable pain, may you find HIS JOY!

Jess, I am so very sorry for your loss and pain. This helped me when I lost my sister so I’d like to share it and hope it does the same for you:
Gone From My Sight
By Henry Van Dyke
I am standing upon the seashore. A ship, at my side, spreads her white sails to the moving breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch her until, at length, she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.
Then, someone at my side says, “There, she is gone.”
Gone where?
Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast, hull and spar as she was when she left my side.
And, she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port.
Her diminished size is in me – not in her.
And, just at the moment when someone says,
“There, she is gone.”
There are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout, “Here she comes!”
Tony and Alicia Milanesi says
Jess, our sincere condolences for the loss of your lovely wife Erin. We are very sorry for what you and your family have to go through, we are here to support you!!! You and you family are in our prayers.

Jess,
I’m very sorry for your loss. You and your family will be in our prayers.
Psalm 34:18
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit
Nancy Nolin says
I read about your loss today through our company website. Erin worked for Leidos and although I did not meet her it is obvious through comments left at work and other places that she was a wonderful mother, a great co-worker and loved by many. I am so very sorry for your tragic loss.
Char'Landa Washington says
I would like to offer my condolences to the Mitchell and Harris family. I am so sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure of working with Jo Mitchell at Community Hospital. I will pray for your famiy. Please look to the Lord for strength in your time of need.
Sherry Harris Peacock says
Jess, I remember you as a baby so you won’t remember me. I am a cousin of your Dad, Don. I was so absolutely disheartened to learn about Erin. I have you and your children and both of your families in my heart and in my prayers. I pray that our loving Lord will comfort you all and give you peace. I pray blessings during your grieving. You are all loved by God and me.

I am so sorry for the loss of your lovely daughter,
We may wonder why?
[Jesus well knew the Bible statement:” Time and unforeseen occurrence befall them Ecclesiastes 9:11]. He knew that
sometimes bad things just happen.
The Bible teaches us about the wonderful future resurrection hope is the promise found at John 5:28,29.
Revelation 21:3,4 states that in the future ‘ death will be no more. and pain
will be no more, the former things will have passed away.’
Our Creator, Jehovah God, by means of his son Jesus, is going to undo the tragedies that touch our lives today and we will be able to welcome back onto the paradise earth, our loved ones who have fallen asleep in death.
