Erika M. Eaton

Even though I haven't seen Erika for the last 15 - 20 years, I will always have wonderful memories of her - all the things we did together. She was a very warm and generous person, and I know I am fortunate to have met her, even though it was only briefly.

Dear Uncle Mark,

Erika was a beautiful and admirable person. Although short, she had a full life and much of that is because of your love for her. It is incredibly sad that we all don't have more time with her. My thoughts are with you now and I hope that your life can move forward with strength and grace---the same way that Erika lived hers.

Much love to you,
Susanna

Mark, Elise and Rachel,

"Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts. And we are never, ever the same." that was Erika.
Peace,
Peter and Sherry

Dear Mark
No one knows better than I what you are feeling for I have gone through the same bitter experience. To lose such a lovely vibrant spirit like Erica is so unfair.I know how meaningless words are to you now but you are surrounded by loving family and friends and time...the great healer. Erica touched us all with her courage and love and we will all miss her. You will always have beautiful memories and no one can take those away. I send you a heart full of sympathy.

On behalf of the Bartolotta restaurant employees who knew Erika, our deepest sympathies to Mark and family. I meet Erika and Mark via Lake Park Bistro, when she was instrumental in having us support the Alliance. She truly was a wonderful woman who cared about others and lived life to the fullest. We will always remember her fondly.

Dear Mark, Elise, Rachel and Family,
Erika will forever live with all of us in our hearts and memories. My life is richer and my eyes more open because of her exquisite grace and thoughtfulness. I will dearly miss her.
In Sympathy,

To Erika's family,
I wasn't lucky enough to meet Erika in person. As my mentor through ABCD, her phone calls kept me strong and gave me the courage to keep going during my cancer treatment.
You were so blessed to have her in your lives. I will always remember her in my heart.

Mark--
My deepest sympathies for your loss, and those affected by Erika's passing. I know I speak not just for myself when I say she will be sorely missed. I cannot imagine anyone who knew her would have anything less than very fond memories. She was (is) truly a lovely person. I am sorry for your loss.

Elise, my deepest sympathies. I am a former owner of Great Lakes Reporting and knew you briefly as a Mary Kay consultant; God's blessings and peace be with you during this time of grieving.
In peace and light,
