Erin Lynn Mcnamara

Hello Friends and Family. I've been sitting where you are today all too often. I'm so sorry for the pain you're going through. I wish there was a way I could ease your sorrow except to say this. Cremation is not my final opportunity to make an ash out of myself. This is, by no means the end of me. We are all just passing through. Cry here if you must but laugh equally hard at my wake.

First and foremost, let me thank my family. I have not been an easy Daughter, Sister, Sister-In-Law, Niece, Cousin or Aunt. I am who I am, no apologies. Thank you for loving me unconditionally. Usually.

To the men who helped shape my life: Chris Sorensen, Michael Cutting, Andrew Robbins, Patrick Laferty, Loren Johnson, Wallace Helms, David Podue, Peter Frega, Mike Fry, Jared Blake, Lee Vacaro and Michael Tamburello. Thank you for your love, friendship, concern and even rebuke. Jessie Silva, wherever you are, thank you for posting bail. Lt. Paul Studdard, I was an idiot. I should have never let you go.

Thank you, Jodie, Sarita, Marta, Christine, Noriko, Barbara-Jean, Victoria and Jen for being so gracious and allowing me to be in your man's life. Thank you also for not attacking me in the guest room with a lead pipe in the middle of the night...I know a few of you have thought about it...just kidding. Well, for the most part.

To my wild card friends: Erin Nichols, thanks for trying to get me off "welfare" and sharing great books. Amanda B., We've been friends forever. Dog sitting for you was one of the highlights of my life. I believe all dogs go to heaven so I will check up on them for you. Beth Nimmo, thank you for allowing me to be a part of your ministry. It has been an honor. Finally, Bryan Hopkins. I will never forget your courage in Vegas at Rt.#91 and the relief I felt seeing you on TV the next day. Keep on being a hero.

To my Mentors: Freddie Piro, Daryn Hinton, Patty Gannon, Chris Arnstien, Jennifer Bell, Rob Marshal and Richard Jeri- Thank you for your knowledge, encouragement, and guidance in my almost illustrious career. I've never stopped learning. You can complain the roses have thorns or you can rejoice the thorns have roses...

To my Legal Family- Thank you for keeping me out of jail and in the money...before taking a big chunk back...

Speaking of...to my Shadow Family- Avia Nardia, Albert Timmon, Uri, Elaina, and Matthew Kocel, thank you for the mad skills and instilling in me the ability to live to live without fear- Nothing is more dangerous than a person with nothing to lose.

To My Church Family! Sanctuary Praise Band, The Fear Not crew, Holy Family Choir, Pastor Z and Church in the Wind, The Painter Pad, the Mancarusos, the Mohr Family and al their little Rockstar relatives, Father Scott and Kris, Pastor Bob, Helen Leski, Deena Dodson (We'll always have Vegas!) the Mungarros, Marie Serdinski, Nicole Burns and all my Sanctuary-ites, thank you for keeping me accountable and laughing.

To my Hospital Family: Alex, Hector, Kevin, Kelly, Brian, Melinda, Felize, Pam and Stacy in UC Pulmonary, the Estrogen Trifecta of Dr. Sykes, Dr. Keith and Dr. Preller. Thank you for keeping me alive and giving me quality that made it worth living...(the prescriptions helped.)

Finally, to My Jet Ex Family: (I refuse to us the "F" word) There are too many to thank all here personally, so, Pam Matt, you are my hero. Keep up the good work. St. Nora, thank you for keeping me out of trouble. Cliff Van Luven, thank you for letting me skip over the weak links in the chain of command. Beverly Van Buskirk told you they were filming "Under Cover Boss"! I had so much fun terrorizing them. Jennifer Garcia, thank you for saving my life. Pille, Ana, Amy, Amanda, Maria, Hoby and Gail, we rocked Jet Ex! No one can take away the good memories we had from then.

Please let me note Vaughn Hambley, Jan Penfold, Rick Anderson, Chris Ainsley, Mike Myers, Mary Pat Schultz, Mike Spooner, Jason LaGuardia, Jeff Sias, Ann McCollum, Dianne Smith, Lisa Guy, Penny Christie, Sharise Scultz, Junior, Jody Czapla, Roger Felke, Robert Epps, Chuck Tate, and I will be keeping tabs on you and Janine Johnson will not let you past the pearly gates if your paperwork is not in order.

To anyone who has ever had my back at that job, you know who you are. THANK YOU! I have seen enough death to appreciate life. May G-d bless and keep you. Will miss you more than planes...
