Erin Kathleen O’Neal Owen (9/22/1966 - 9/3/2017)

Erin passed away suddenly and unexpectedly Sunday September 3, 2017. She leaves behind her loving husband Jerry, daughter Katie, grandson Elijah Smith, cherished parents Bill and Pat O’Neal, brother Brendan O’Neal (Ann) nephew Iason O’Neal in addition to many other relatives, friends and extended family. She enjoyed celebrating the Bengals and Reds with friends as well as many artistic needle work crafts, music and mostly her loving little ‘Lily’.

Erin would request that you:

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
