I am very sorry.:( I will definately be praying for Erin and all who love her.

Erin and her family will definitely be in my thoughts and prayers.

my prayers are with her and her family, and to the ChiO's at her chapter.

That is so horrible! My best friend is a Chi Omega. The USC-Columbia Chi Omega chapter, her friends, and her family are all in my prayers. May God bless you!

My thoughts are with her and her family

Actually I'm not sure she was full time at school anymore. Since her father was so sick with cancer she had to quit school and was there to help him. She is still a chi-o, of course, i just don't know if she was taking classes this semester or whatnot. Like I said, they've had a difficult time. Thank you guys so much for your prayers. It really means a lot.

A ? for the chi-os
 

Can you Chi-Os tell me. Isn't yall's flower the white carnation? I was thinking about sending Erin a bouquet to the hospital. I sponsored Erin when she went through rush. She was an in-house legacy to Chi-O and I know for sure her sister will be there at the hospital as well. I only ask but I didn't know if the white flowers would be appropriate. I feel certain her sister would "get it" so to speak but I don't want anyone else thinking "well b/c these are white they must be for the funeral" or some crap. Hell I don't even know if there is a certain type of flowers for funerals either. I am just praying so much right now. I wish I could be with her. I live overseas. We just moved here in March and since then my Grandfather has had a stroke and now this. I apologize I'm not trying to throw myself a pity party I just feel helpless and it frustrates me :(

I wouldn't consider white flowers to be funeral flowers. If you really don't feel comfortable sending white, then maybe you could send a cardinal and straw bouquet?

Erin, her family, and her Chi-O sisters are all in my prayers.

The bouquet of carnations seems to be a lovely idea to me!

My prayers for a complete recovery, and for peace for both her family and her Chi Omega family.

Yes, our flower is the white carnation. Maybe a red and yellow bouquet with some white carnations in it would be nice? Thanks you for the kind thoughts and for the information as well.

Sending out positive thoughts for Erin's recovery

I will definitely keep her in my thoughts and prayers. :( Please keep us updated on her situation.

BrownEyedGirl thanks so much. But I found out Erin wasn't enrolled in school this semster and isn't an Active sister of her chapter currently all though she is still a member of the sorority so I'm not sure if her family etc would get the letters. The most current news as of Tuesday is that they are going to do a test which uses some type of dye to see how much blood flow is going to the brain. After they see the results of that test they will then have to make the decision to take her off the respirator. I can't imagine having to make that choice and all of this saddens me so much. I will keep yall updated on the news I hear today. Thanks again

I just called home and they pronounced Erin dead sometime yesterday. The test showed no blood flow to the brain. Erin is an organ donor and I can only assume they did whatever means necessary or whatever they do to preserve her organs. Even though this saddens me greatly at least through organ donation she can in a sense live on through other people. I rejoice in knowning that she is with her father and my mother in heaven. Our parents met while my mom and her dad were getting chemo for kidney cancer back in 95. Erin's mom introduced Jean (her sister and my step-mom) to my Dad some months after my mother's death. This is just such a shock to me. I've never known anyone around my age to die and I suppose most people think that death is something gennerally that doesn't happen to too many young people. I'm sorry I know I'm not making any sense right now. Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers. If you could continue to pray for the Hudson family I would be forever greatful. Thank you
