Well today would have been Erin's 35th birthday. There isn't a night that goes by that I don't dream of her. I know I'm not the only one, she meant so much to so many people. 

Spring Update

Well it has been a nice Spring and Summer seems to be closing in on us with highs in the mid nineties. I had a nice Jazzfest and I got to spend a long weekend with Kelley, Kay, and Patrick for the Hangout Fest in Gulf Shores. We were lucky to have some awesome weather for all the great music that weekend. I recently met some of the board of Trustees as well as Dr. Eichberger over at St. George's Episcopal Church and they filled me in on their plans to memorialize Erin with a bench, plaque, and tree planted in her honor in the recess area. They said that everyone that has worked with her or were fortunate to be taught by her will never forget her, and they are going to make sure that she is never forgotten. They are also setting up a fund to award a need based scholarship for at least one student a year for their annual Washington D.C. trip that Erin used to organize. They are also setting up a Professional Development Fund for continuing education for the faculty. Here is a link to the info they have up so far. Erin Grenon Memorial Fund
 It is so touching that Erin was and is so loved. I never imagined that I could miss her so much...

Best Red Sauce Ever.

Well I'm home alone for dinner tonight. I pulled out the last thing that I had that Erin had cooked. She didn't cook all the time, but when she did she rocked it out. Hate to be "Debbie Downer" but I wanted to share..
