Hey, Erika
I know that you've been gone for a year now but it seems like yesturday I was saying good bye. You were the best sister and friend. Trey is getting so big I wish you would've met him. So many people send there reguards through my myspace page. It's amazing how many people you toughed and miss you. Yes, you are gone but you will never be forgotten in my heart. The family misses you so much but are happy that you are in a better place. I will see you someday, just be there when I see the light. Love you forever and always. Your Sister Bear

Erika -

I cannot believe you are gone. It wasn't that long ago we were laughing in the hallways of EPHS. You have no idea how much I adored your friendship. (Along with Teresa and Matt.) You will remain in my memories forever and always.



Teresa and Matt, & the Donahue Family - I just found out about Erika a couple of days ago and was shocked. I live in New York City now. My mom called me at work to tell me she read Erika's name in the newspaper. I am so sorry. I wish I could be in MN right now to see you both. I was actually thinking of you triplets a few months ago. I cannot believe this has happened. I've been trying to figure out a way to get ahold of you. I felt this was a good way. Please email or call me.
