Erin was diagnosed with ALS in Aug. 2019. She vowed from the start this disease would not define her as a person or rule her life. Those of you who know Erin would have expected no less from her and she lived those words everyday. Unfortunately, the disease took a fast track with her and symptoms began to occur quicker than for most ALS patients and she soon lost muscle mass and motor skills, loss of speech and swallowing, and the ability to eat. She remained strong in her legs and continued her love of hiking and got to hike her beloved Tyrol Mountain many times this summer and fall. But ALS is constant and the difficulties became harder to overcome. After a brief hospitalization she peacefully laid her head on the bed and took a final quiet breath.
