I have been thinking about lot about you recently Erica, and telling people how absolutely beautiful you were. From the clothing that you wore, the pictures we would take of eachother in our 20's until the moment we lost touch. I loved your little precious dog...was her name Mini? Your mess of dresses in your bedroom, the endless fragrances, and makeup tutorials. You will forever be in my heart. Sharon I hope all of you are doing well. Miss you

i spent a lot of time with Erica... she was amazing to be around and i hate the fact that she's not here anymore to talk to, to laugh with, to drive to chinatown so she could get some bubble tea. i miss her every day. i think of her every day. my world was better with her in it.

Erica, You were a remarkable person I thank god everyday that I was blessed with your friendship. We shared laughs and memories and tears. Through it all you were like a sister to me and I will never forget you. Until I reach the gates of heaven I will not say goodbye just I'll see you later. I love you and will miss you. Sharon and Joe I cant begin to express how deeply sorry I truly am for your loss. I cant even imagine what your going through right now. But Know that Erica loved you guys very much!! She told me many times how she appreciated and loved everything that you guys did for her. Just know that she will live on in all the hearts that she has touched and we will carry her with us always.

Erica was my good friend for many years. Always smiling always positive and always drinking or eating something that made me cringe. many trips to chinatown to get her bubbly-fizz or whatever she called it she was always a willing copilot. I loved her very much like the little sister i never had. i even helped her get a job at Northeast Auto when she was looking for work. I will never forget her smile or the positive way she made me feel.... she will forever be my droolie.
