Erica was like a daughter to me. She lived next door to us for all of her pre-college years. I loved her, and still do. Her spirit, attitude, humor, and creativity will always remain in my heart. Did we ever find her lost mouth retainer? Thank you, Erica, for the beautiful times. You are so loved and missed. Love, Anita
