Erin Colleen Steeves

What a beautiful young woman you are. That's how I remember you. Always a smile of your beautiful face. My prayers go out to AL and Denise. A child should never have to leave the earth before the parents. God bless all. It's a hard thing to go thru.

Erin, I never thought you’d be gone. I miss you. You were there in some really tough times and I love you so much for it. Just know we all miss you. You’ll forever be Team JDF! The sadness and numbness I feel hits me in waves. I know you’re with Dwayne again and your dad. Rest in peace, my sister. I will carry you with me until we are together. You watch over all of us. Love you, girl, to the edges of the universe and back. Never Gone Backstreet Boys The things we did The things we said Keep comin' back to me and make me smile again You showed me how to face the truth Everything that's good in me I owe to you Though the distance that's between us Now may seem to be too far It will never separate us Deep inside, I know you are Never gone, never far In my heart is where you are Always close, everyday Every step along the way Even though for now we've got to say goodbye I know you will be forever in my life (yeah) Never gone (No, no, no, no) I walk along these empty streets There is not a second you're not here with me The love you gave, the grace you've shown Will always give me strength and be my cornerstone Somehow you found a way To see the best I have in me As long as time goes on I swear to you that you will be Never gone, never far In my heart is where you are Always close (always close), everyday (everyday yeah) Every step along the way Even though for now we've got to say goodbye I know you will be forever in my life (in my life, yeah) Never gone (gone from me) If there's one thing I believe (I believe) I will see you somewhere down the road again (I will see you somewhere, somewhere, somewhere, somewhere) Never gone, never far In my heart is where you are Always close (always close, always close), everyday (everyday, everyday) Every step along the way Even though for now we've got to say goodbye (yeah, yeah) I know you will be forever in my life Never gone, never far In my heart is where you are (in my heart is where you are) Always close (always close), everyday (everyday) Every step along the way Never gone, never far In my heart is where you are

Erin. We became online friends around 2014 I believe. Even from miles away I knew you were a good soul. I loved watching the old days we shared of mutual Fandom and loved seeing you enjoy life and persevere. I'm saddened to hear that you are gone and more so that I never made the trip to meet you, your husband or Smokey in person like I always dreamed. I will miss you dear friend and I hope you are reunited eith your loved ones. May we meet again

Erin was a great friend and an all around wonderful person. I am going to miss our online chats dearly. I feel so lucky I got to meet her and Dwayne and Smokey.

So saddened to hear of Erin's passing. I went to camp Woodeden with her and fondly remember her love of the Backstreet Boys, especially Kevin. She always told us that he'd given her a promise ring. I was also sad to read that her husband has passed as well. I remember how excited she was when she got married. Thinking of those who were closest to her.

I send my sincere condolences during this time of sorrow. The Bible promises that your loved one will live again on a beautiful paradise earth when death will be no more. (John 5:28, 29; Revelation 21:4)

I had the privilege of meeting Erin through Thames Valley Children's Centre. She and her husband were ardent supporters of one of our events and it was always a delight to see them there. One only had to watch them for a second to see the love and support they gave each other and how they were truly made to be together. I have stayed in touch with her over the years and will miss our chats about life and love and art and all the things that made her so beautifully unique. My deepest condolences to the family and all those that loved and knew her. Jackie
