Erin Henderson Baker, BHS '75 (1957-2011)
Please keep Erin's family and friends in your prayers during this difficult time of loss...
Erin Henderson Baker
My Sister Erin
It's 3:17 am, tonight is by far the hardest night of my life, 9 minutes after midnight God was given the most special Angel ever.
I was holding the hand of my sister, also, Brooke and Melanie's sister, as she took her last breath.
My younger sister Erin Baker was the strongest women I know, and had the biggest heart, it was that heart of her's that finally gave out tonight.
Erin has been sick most of her life, but if you know her she never complained. She is, was amazing and her faith truly kept her strong and she is going to be missed so much by everyone who knows her. Her biggest loves are her two daughters, Lacy Carroll and Lauren Brewerand the grandchildren they gave her. I don't know how they will manage without their "E", Erin spoke with them each day, sometimes, 4 or 5 times.
My parent have lost a child, Erin was living with them and I'm very concerned about them now. How is it okay to outlive a child? How do we move forward? Right now for me to be writting all this is somewhat theraputic, I am still numb and want to wake up tomorrow moring with this being a horrible nightmare. I cant sleep and I cant crumble, too much to take care of, I'll crumble later, I have to be strong for the next couple of weeks. Brooke Ward is really hurting right now and I'm so worried about her, I'm worried about my parents, Erin's children, grandchildren and our entire family.
We need to pull together, support and love, for that's what "E" would want. My lil sis I'm so sorry for what you went through tonight, I pray your at peace now with that God you speak so highly of.
Good Night Sweet Dreams, I love you!

In Memoriam: Erin Baker
Erin (Henderson) Baker, known as “E” by her grandchildren, passed away September 19 in the emergency room at Menifee Valley Medical Center after fighting a lifelong battle with Crohn’s disease.
Family members say that, despite the illness that caused pain during much of her life, Erin was the ultimate survivor and ray of sunshine to all who knew her. She also was known for her strong faith in her Lord and bringing comfort to others when they were unable to comfort her.
Erin was born in Burbank, California on June 14, 1957 to Robert and Sheila Henderson, with whom she has lived in Canyon Lake for the past several years.
In addition to her parents, Erin is survived by two daughters: Lauren (Breck) Brewer of San Antonio, Texas, with their four children, Dillon, 8, Teague, 6, and twins, Sadie and Claire, 4; and Lacy (Lance) Carroll of Colorado Springs, Colorado, with their two children, Violet, 4, and Thadius, 1.
Erin also is survived by sisters Lynelle Henderson of Canyon Lake, Brooke (Tony) Ward of Burbank and Melanie Henderson of Burbank, along with nieces and nephews: Blu, Hailey and Kevin Murray, Carlie and Ace Ward, and Hogan and Emery Henderson.
Lynelle will hold a celebration of life Saturday, September 24, at her home in Canyon Lake. The Wards also will have a celebration of life Sunday, September 25, at their home in Burbank.

To: All BHS Alumni
To: All BHS Alumni:
After many years of publishing the "Sr. Bulldog News" newsletter, Herb Vincent has decided to retire. We are in the process of putting together a committee of Burbank High School Alumni to redesign the newsletter and include some of the innovative ideas that have been proposed.
This is a great opportunity for alumni to get involved in the Sr. Bulldogs Foundation. In this cyber world it is no longer necessary to live in Burbank. Everything can be sent electronically so that anyone can become involved.
One of our alumni has already volunteered to design a new masthead so we are quickly moving forward. Your contribution can be as little as sending in photos and/or articles that you may have found or written that would be of interest to our alumni.
The committee is looking for people that have one or more of the following skills:
Writing
Excel
Graphic Design
We are also looking for someone to take on the role of Editor. If you would like to be part of this new and exciting change to the newsletter please contact us at BurbankSrBulldogs@yahoo.com.
Thank you.

Bruce Gatton BHS '71 Passed Away July 31, 2011
Email from Cathy Nicholls Coyle BHS '67 today:
Hi Alan, Linda & Cathy: Just heard more sad news today when Greg Gatton, from our class ('67), called to inform us of his brother, Bruce Gatton's ('71) passing on Sunday, July 31, 2011. Bruce had been suffering for several years with pancreatic cancer.
John & I have known Bruce since he helped coach our youngest son on the Burbank High football team in the late '80's. Bruce was always the first one to help out no matter what was needed. He was a giant of a man and very intimidating in appearance, yet had a heart of gold. We will miss him dearly. He leaves behind his father; brother, Greg; and two sons, Mitchell and Paul.
