Our Short-Cake is gone. Her life was difficult over the years after Happy Days. This is Henry Winkler's tweet: OH Erin... now you will finally have the peace you wanted so badly here on earth ...Rest In It serenely now.. too soon

May God comfort and console her family and grant the repose of her soul.

I wonder if my brother knows who she is. I always play 20 questions with him whenever someone famous dies.

Not a Happy Day today, RIP and prayers to her family.
