Happy Birthday, Erin (multi-page)

6. A big part of Erin’s life for a long time was her job as a crew member at Trader Joe’s. She started there at a store in Manhattan Beach when we were still living in the LA area and she absolutely loved the job. Her coworkers there were such a fun group of people and she made some lifelong friends in her time there. She was good at the job, too, always earning the respect of those she worked for and with, always dedicated to doing things the right way and having fun while doing it. When we moved to Chicago, she transferred to a store in Orland Park and of course got along really well with so many people there, just like before. Some of her closest friends were people she met there and she always loved it. After years of working there, TJ’s was a big part of her life and always would be.

  1. What a beautiful way to honor Erin on her birthday. Thank you for continuing to keep her spirit alive and always sharing your love for her. Your words are genuine and thoughtful, something she always appreciated. The coffee mugs were a Christmas gift from me, with the thought you guys would each have one. She could not wait to use them, Lol. The pure vulgarity alone was enough to make that mug her favorite! Love you Aaron, I think of you, and her every day. -Jen

    1. Thank you, Jen! I thought they were a gift and I’m happy to know they were from you. I’m keeping her vulgarity alive and still using that mug these days. I love and think about you, too, and I know that she lives on in your heart, so thank you for keeping her spirit alive, as well.
