I met Erin when she came to work at Pietzsch McArthur after moving to Beaumont. Just one visit to her room and I realized what an awesome teacher she was. As time went on we became friends and I always looked forward to being with her or talking to her. She touched so many lives. I miss her so much already. Prayers for the family. God blessed you with this wonderful person.

Mrs. Ilari was truly an angel from the first time i met her. My daughter and I were blessed to have met Mrs Ilari this year with her being placed in her class. I have never met someone whom always had a smile to greet you and always had kind words to say. My daughter has truly been blessed to have known mrs. ilari and she will always cherish her. She has lots of fond memories of her as well as I. She was not just my daughter's teacher but more of a friend of the family. She will definitely be missed more than i could ever express to you. To her family you are in my prayers. Mrs. Ilari was definitely Loved by my daughter and I. She will be greatly missed.

Our prayers are with Erin's family.

I do not know what to say to you. For 44 years you have been the light of my life and now it is dark around me. You were so special, much more than I could ever have imagined. I cannot imagine how it will be not to talk to you everyday, please just whisper to me sometimes, okay? I will assure you that your kids will never forget you and I will watch over them for you. I love you with all my heart and will never forget all the wonderful things we shared. You are my heart and I will miss you more than you know. MOM

You have been the light of my life and my closet friend for 44 years. You were so special, much more than I could have ever imagined. I do not know how I will survive without talking to you daily and sharing the events of the days. I love you with all my heart and will miss you every minute of every day.I will talk to you in my dreams and pray that you answer me back. Stay close,
baby girl

Erin's word of the year at Bingman was nurturing; this word truly exemplified her. When I saw her word displayed, I told her it was perfect. We lost a wonderful, sensitive teacher, friend, and co-worker. I will miss our talks in the morning, her beautiful smiling face, and all of the positive words she used with parents, staff, and children. Thank God for placing Erin with us at Head Start and may He continue to watch over her family.
