Erin always valued her children's education highly. She home schooled her boys for most of their lives. She was very proud of her older boys as they continued to pursue their interests. Erin was able to attend the first of her sons' college graduation this past Spring. The three eldest boys have all achieved Eagle Scout status while the younger two are preparing to in the upcoming years.

Their five children will all be able to benefit in some way from your generosity. Eamon (25) continues to take courses to complete his bachelor's degree while working full time. Kevan (23) will be entering the Marines in January after completing his BS- Finance at Valparaiso University this past Spring. He would be using the funds to repay his student loans. Liam (20) is working full time while also taking classes to further his education in Construction Management as well as other trade interests. Shea (16) and Ciaran (14) are both looking to the future and what their college interests will be.

Erin's sisters (Kerry Farris and Kelly Wilcox) will be managing the account to distribute directly to the boy's college accounts/loans.
