I think ppl are a little confused about what it means when the Ghost Riders "erase" others. When they take someone they're not altering the fact that those ppl actually existed but they erase the memories and remembrances (pictures, registrations, library cards, etc.) that otherwise prove they existed.

As with the library card, Jeep and that thing Gwen had from her sister, there are items that are left behind but the significance they hold is forgotten along with the memories of their owner.

Stiles' mom is the only odd piece of the puzzle because according to her medical records she shouldn't be alive, with or without Stiles, she still has the severe brain problem that killed her. Seeing as she seems to be the only person we know that should be dead regardless of the Ghost Riders' dealings, I'm anxious for the explanation of her escape from death.
