Erika was like a favorite aunt, or second mom, to me. I've known her and her family ever since I was a young boy. Having come to Southern California as a little German boy, it was wonderful to know another German family (with two cute German daughters, no less) that shared a similar heritage to that of my own family.
Erika always treated me with tremendous kindness. I will forever remember her wonderful smile. I have always loved that she was so quick to share cute and funny stories, and loved to laugh. Enjoying holiday dinners with Erika was a wonderful treat for my mother and me. She was a great sport and very open-minded when confronted with eating the vegan meals I put together for the three of us. I think she actually liked the Tofurkey dinners we ate together!
Erika was so very generous in sharing what she had to offer. I will fondly remember the afternoons spent with her, as I climbed up into the huge orange tree in her back yard, picking the most wonderful, juiciest, and tastiest oranges I have ever eaten. While I climbed up and picked the oranges, she stood by, waiting, and ready to put them into a bag so that I could take them home to enjoy. Those afternoons were wonderful... picking fruit, talking about simple things, and enjoying the wonderful moments.
The last time I saw her, she was beautiful. Dressed in her finest, and with her smile so pretty, I simply had to mention how lovely and happy she looked. She said "Danke" and smiled. My fondest memory will forever be our last afternoon together.

My prayers for the Zimmerman family. I'm glad I got to know Erika from our church. She was a strong woman and Christian. God Bless.

Erika was so dear to me. She continued to call or send cards when I was ill. She was an inspiration in my life. I am so happy for her to be in the presence of God the Father and her Jesus. I will miss her as will we all!

Erika was a very caring person who gave so much to others while volunteering as a friendly visitor.
