To The Cash Family,
My condolences go out to this family. I have had the pleasure of meeting this whole family and I realize once I did I felt like I was right at home. Erica was such a sweet person and always kept it real! My mother and her were close friends and was always willing to take time out of her day to do something for someone before herself.


Tameka, I can say, is one of my close friends and I was hurt when I found out. We are always here for you and you know that! I can honestly say I can talk to you about anything and this is my time for be here for you in your time of need. I love you.

Erica- may god bless this family and may god forever bless you and your daughter!

Mr. and Mrs. Cash,
You may or may not remember me. My name is Stacey and I am one of the nurses from 4 South at UT Medical Center that cared for your daughter during several of her hospitilizations prior to her passing. Words cannot say how sorry I am for you and your family's loss. For the brief time that Erica came into my life, I am thankful that I got to meet your daughter. Not only was she beautiful on the outside, but she was a very beautiful and caring young woman on the inside. Not only did she influence me but she influenced my 16 year old daughter to pursue a career in cosmetology as well. My daughter and I first met Erica earlier this year in the salon where she worked. It wasn't until May when I first cared for Erica that I realized how and when I had first met her. She was a blessing and an inspiration to all who met and cared for her. Thank you for allowing me to care for your daughter. She will be greatly missed by myself and my family. Your family and loved ones are in my thoughts and prayers. May God bless you and watch over you during this time in your lives.

To the family:

The sorrow in which my heart feels can not be expressed by words yet I pray that you all find sunshine in the days to come and security in knowing that God will never put more on you than you can bear! I love you and miss you Erica! Tameka, let me know if there is ANYTHING I can do!

Love Always!

God looked around his Garden and found an empty place.
He then looked down upon his earth and saw your loving face.

He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest.
His Garden must be beautiful, he always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering, he knew you were in pain.
And knew that you would never get well on earth again.
He saw your path was difficult, he closed you tired eyes,
He whispered to you "Peace be Thine" and gave you wings to fly.
When we saw you sleeping so calm and free of pain,
We would not wish you back to earth to suffer once again.
You've left us precious memories, your love will be our guide,
You live on through your children, you're always by our side.
It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you on the day God called you home

Please accept my sympathy in the death of your daughter Erica. I had not known that Erica was ill and hospitalized. I am thankful she knew the wonder of faith and love. I am thankful she was a part of a family who lived it before her, and I am thankful that you know where she is, with God. I am deeply sorry for the hurt of missing her physical presence. May God give you peace and wisdom for the days ahead.--Sandy Foster

The Bible talks about entaining angels unaware. I would like to believe Erica was one of those angels. Although her life here on earth was very brief, she made an everlasting impact on all she encountered.
Erica possessed the ability to make one appreciate life. She always wore a smile. She will be greatly missed. I stayed awake most of the night in disbelief, but I know she is in a much better place with a whole, healthy body now. God Bless

To the Cash family,
Erica was a sweet young lady. She was a great hair stylist. I would admire her customers hair as they left. She was gracious to do my hair when I needed my hair styled. She always had a smile on her face when I saw her. She is in a wonderful place now looking down. I pray that God will continue to strengthen your family.
God bless you,

Pastor Cash & Family- What do you say when you have lost a child.....what does one say???? I guess the only words available are these: "keep your hands in the hand of the Man....." Precious people, please know that our children are just on loan to us and He chooses when to call them home. God has accepted another flower in His garden name Erica Cash. Peace to you and your family today and the days to come.

Kelvin, it is hard to know what to say at this sad time because Erica's loss is so great. I know words will not truly ease the hurt and pain you all are enduring but perhaps they can in some small way express the depth of care and concern we feel for you. When the curtain is closed on the final act in the life of a loved one, what is to be remembered is the privilege you all where given to be able to share Erica's "star role" with her.
