I'm sorry I found out so long after. I met Erika many years ago online and continued a friendship for years. She inspired me and continues to do so in memory. I am truly blessed to have known her and wish her family nothing, but peace and happiness.

I believe the Lord above, picked you out for me to love. Picked you out from all the rest because he knew I love you the best. If you reach heaven before I do save a place for me and you. So all the Angels can come and see how much you really mean to me. Author unknown

I remember her sweet smiles and always wanting to help me with the little ones when I babysat for her. My heart goes out to Candice, Brian, Devin, Jeanettte and Lori. May all of you find peace somehow. Love to all of you and prayers.
