Erika Rich

My deepest condolences for the loss of such a bright light! Erika showed such strength and courage throughout her journey, never letting her light flicker. She showed such strength and determination, and will always be remembered through the Bloom Foundation! God bless all of her friends and family!

Although I never met her, I feel as though she had been a long distance friend. I loved following her social media posts. Her smile lit up any room! She was so inspiring, and she put herself out there even during the times she struggled. She was such an amazing person and fought this with such grace. Her work with the Bloom Foundation showed how big her heart was. Her story will live on for sure! Every time I messaged her she replied. I looked forward to her posts and will miss seeing her updates. My heart is broken, but I know it doesn't compare to the pain her family and friends are feeling. My heart goes out to all of you, and I hope you find comfort in knowing how many lives she touched. I will always remember this beautiful girl and the impact she had on so many of us. Sending comfort to her family from afar.

I never met this sweet child but followed her journey. Although her pain was real, we worship knowing that Erika is now pain free and sits at the right hand of Jesus. "Such an inspiration to all"

We now have a new Angel! My deepest sympathies to all of you. Erika was incredible and an inspiration to anyone that met her.

Erika showed us how to live when faced with a terminal illness. Her strength and positivity while faced with so much was a lesson in grace and perseverance. Heaven gained an amazing Angel! My sincere sympathies to all who loved her near and far.

Although i didn't personally know Erika, her story came across my social media feed one day. I was intrigued about her optimism - her story and her wonderful outlook on life. She is so invigorating and gave so many hope. As i read her obituary - it made me think of this ---

Erika didn't pass away, she didn't lose her fight and she certainly didn't lose to the disease.

Cancer didn't win, it was without a shadow of a doubt her voice that won out.

Im so sad to read this.. never met her but followed her journey. Erika was beautiful inside and out. Such a strong young woman and you could not help to fall in love with her spirit. I so thought she would beat this ...just heartbroken to see this. May she rest in peace.. My heart goes out to her love ones..

Following Erika's journey has taught so many of us lessons we never expected from a 20-something year old. She was an amazing young lady and her spirit will live on. My thoughts and prayers are with her family at this time.

Lifting Erika, her family and friends in love and light. Erika was a true warrior, full of strength and compassion. She will be greatly missed. Fly high sweet girl. We will continue the good fight for you.
