I learned of Erica and her passing just yesterday afternoon. Yesterday morning..she was on my mind and I needed to call her and catch up with her. I am so sad for Erica and her family. I never met her Mom and Sisters..but they know of me because I took care of her skin and was her friend for 7 years..maybe more. Erica was an honest, wonderful, beautiful friend..she always cared so much about others no matter what she was facing. Im so sad for her family and I pray she is comforted now. I will miss her.
Love,
Gwendolyn

I worked for Erica's father many years ago and would baby sit his 3 beautiful daughters. Every once in a while I would think about the girls even tried to look on facebook a few times. Now looking at Erica she was more beautiful than I imagine... Take Care Family and may God keep you covered.

Erica was like a little sister to me during her time in Orlando and at Disney World. We were kindred spirits because we're both North Carolina girls. I will always remember her smile, her laughter, her fun and jovial way. Gone too soon may Erica rest in peace and my heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with the Johnson family.

We'll always consider her part of the "Disney" family, we have such wonderful memories of her when she was here with us... Now she is gone on to greater things but she'll never be forgotten and her spirit never quenched only to live on forever in peace, no more tears of this world. We love you Erica and look forward to the day when we all meet once again!
Much love to the family of this wonderful human being...

Eternal Rose

Jason Lutz, WC 1990

July 20, 2012

In the garden of life there's often the
appearance of a unique rose. One that
exudes a sense of beauty. It begins like any other bud but as the experiences of
life waters its roots, it becomes radiant in its beauty as its pedals grow to full bloom. It stands out among
the other flowers found in the garden of life because that is what it represents, life itself and many of life's purest things like warmth,
compassion and most importantly love.
We had the opportunity to bask in the
beauty of a beautiful rose but this
rose was plucked from the garden of life far too soon, leaving family and
friends exposed to an emotional wound that at times will be hard to bare.
One thing we can find comfort in is knowing that this rose is in the hands of the master our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who has placed this rose in his
garden and given Erica eternal life..
