Not sure what to say?

A wonderful teammate! Ericka was 40 and I was a college student, but we played soccer together on the Providence Metro Kickers on the RIWSL and went to tournaments together. A few times, we got lost. She shared her home w us and I just admired her. Thank you Danner family for sharing her. Meridy (Smith) Glenn

I am so very sorry to just recently learn of Erika's passing. She was a fun energetic woman who was a great cook, dancer and hostess.

Sending heartfelt condolences on the loss of your beloved Erika.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. She was a beautiful person who we knew thru soccer and polka music. Will be sadly be missed. God Bless. RIP

Erika was instrumental in getting me involved as a High School soccer referee. She will be greatly missed. My prayers go out to her family. God Bless!
