She was definitely a woman of God. I learned a great deal about spiritual warfare listening and watching her videos. I met her once. I know I'm late I just found out about her passing and was surprised. I did not know she was ill. Forgive my late entry.

I am saddened to hear of Sister Erica's passing just now. She was the first person I have listen too in my deliverance process. She has facilitated through Christ alot of spiritual healing on many levels. It has been a great blessing to me. God bless her and her family. Praise be to God that led me to her when I needed it. Hallelujah! Amen! ✝❤
