Erin you were a much loved lady by everyone who knew you, a very dear friend, a devoted wife and you absolutely adored your loving family who you spoke of often.

Your love and friendship over the years has never gone unnoticed and you will be forever greatly missed.

My heart goes out to you Mike and all of Erin’s much loved family and friends. It was obvious how much love she had for you all.

You can rest easy now Erin, forever in our hearts and never forgotten xx

Sending condolences and sympathy to Lane/King families. Have fond memories of staying with Ray & Erin when the twins were just babies and having great New year's days at Wyndham races, taking the train to Timaru, borrowing the caravan when staying for Blossom Festival's in Alexandra. Falling in love with cocker spaniels and buying a couple of puppies from Erin. Having happy wild times at Blackman Rd, swimming Fraser Dam, bunny shooting with the kids. Sorry to hear Erin was ill and unfortunate we lost touch over the years. Erin was a great baker, cook and also very good at knitting and sewing when the kids were smaller, and I'm pretty sure had sewen up summer dresses for me and Mum. Sorry we cannot be there to share with you all the family memories made, but I'm sure you will make Erin proud with a beautiful send off. Love and thoughts to you all Ray, Rodney, Paula and Glen and families at this sad time Sallyann & Murray, Clyde.
