I'm very sorry for the Summers family at this time of great sorrow. I was a classmate of Ericas and remember her as a happy person willing to help anyone who she felt needed some comfort. I remember us being good friends and talking often about different subjects and how I felt that she was a great girl. She really was and will be missed and it is no surprise to me that she touched many hearts thoroughout her life. Erica may you be with all the angels because you yourself were one and you WILL have a place in Gods kingdom. May you continue to look upon us all with that radiant smile and continue praying for us.

I would like to extend my condolences to Erica's family. It is hard to lose someone at anytime, much less someone so young and full of life. May God comfort your hearts as you go through this time, and in the future to come.

Although I did not know Erica I want to offer my most sincere condolences to her family. She sounds like she was a wonderful woman, very courageous and quite inspiring. After losing my father in September to cancer I have wanted to involve my self some way to help others with the awful disease of cancer. Reading Ericas obituary has provided me with such inspiration to do so. May God bless your family and comfort you always.
With the utmost sincerity,
