Friends, I have very painful and sad news to share with you all. Erin Elton passed away on Sunday morning (6/22/08). Many of the details are still unknown, but it was unexpected. Mom Thompson spent much of Saturday night and Sunday morning visiting with family as they helped each other deal with news that no parent, grandparent, brother, or sister is ever ready to hear. There are a lot of people who are experiencing the worst pain and sorrow of their lives right now. I would ask each of us to keep the Elton/Fiertag family in prayer. The theology of death can be an obtuse and debatable subject, but I think that all our hearts yearn for God to work some healing and reconciliation through this lamentable crisis. Let us pray together.
Erin was Linda Fiertag and Joe Elton's daughter. Therefore, she was the niece of Linda and Tom Thompson.
There will be a viewing at Adams-Perfect Funeral Home in Northfield, NJ on Wednesday 6/25 at 7pm. The funeral service will be at the Church of the Nazarene, also in Northfield, at 11am on Thursday 6/26; there will be an additional viewing prior to the surface Thursday at 10-11am.
In His confusing but capable hands,
Brian

Hey Brian, I am very sorry to hear about Erin and that tragedy! As soon as you posted it, I called your dad's cell ph. to express my concern for the family and your mom and esp. your mom. Some things in this old life we're never understand, that's for sure. But God's compassion surely out-strips them all. Stay in tough.

Brian, I just wanted to thank you for coming to NJ, I was really glad you could come.
love you! Megan
Hi Brian, Sorry to hear about the loss in your family. I'm sure many of your family members will really miss Erin. I pray that God would comfort the family during this time of grief and be especially near to all of you.
So sorry to hear about Erin. After reading your post I looked on line to read her obit. Very sad indeed! I pray that God would surely be the Comforter as the family walks through this difficutl time.
Just read about your cousin...our prayers are with your family and hers ...it is very hard to lose a child (no matter the age) or the reasons but they will need to hold on to the LORD with all their might because HE is the only thing that will get them thur this time.
We will never know the reasons behind everything but the LORD does
and HE is in control.
We are the ones confused not the LORD We might want ALL the answers
but that is not in Gods plans so it is up to us to use our faith to
to see us thur.
