I was working for Suspa Inc. as a German exchange student in 1983 and was fascinated by Erina Hanka's vibrant personality which was absolutely career-oriented. And I envied her for being able to live in the USA while I had to go back to Germany. May she rest in peace. I have always thought about her once in a while and I will never forget her. Carsten Freytag, Falkensee, Germany

Rest in peace my friend.

Erina was an incredible woman and leader. She always had time to listen. She recognized everyone & their value and always inquired as to their family. She agreed to meet with me without an appointment and after 20 minutes of conversation, hired me. I began my career at Suspa the following week, enjoying a special bond with Erina. It is with joy that I can say she is with Rudi again. God bless and may you rest in peace my friend.

So sad to hear of Erina´s passing. I only have fond memories of the days when I worked at Suspa and Erina would ALWAYS give every employee the opportunity to succeed. If you asked ,Erina would give you the benefit of her knowledge. She made Suspa into a "family " organization and treated employees as such. Those who worked for her stayed because of her. She will always be remembered as a great person who was fair and giving. Rest in peace.

I had the pleasure of knowing Erina for 14+ years while working at Suspa. Erina had the "gift" of treating everyone the same no matter who you were or what you did. It was very heartbreaking to learn of her passing...RIP with Rudy!

There are so many wonderful stories I have about Erina. She was an amazing woman, taught me how to be the best I can. And always had great advice, there is no one like her . Thank you Erina... Love Tammie Clark and Marc Minster.

Erina was a truly amazing person who had such a positive impact on everyone. I had the distinct pleasure of working with her at Suspa and later at Swoboda. I am saddened by her passing but so grateful to have had the pleasure of knowing her as a mentor and friend. Vielen Dank, dass Sie unsere Welt besser gemacht haben. Geh mit Gott, mein Freund.
