We grieve for our loss of Erika, loved so dearly and who brought much love and joy to so many. And while we grieve her absence from us we must also celebrate that she knew Jesus and now is in the comfort and safety of his healing arms."Peace I leave with you, My Peace I give to you." (John 14:27) May this Peace be a comfort to all who mourn our Erika leaving us so young, especially to you Paul, Danielle, and Chris, Dot, Karl, Krista and Mark.
peace and love, Uncle Norm & Aunt Rita

I did not know Erika personally, I know her sister Krista since childhood. I had a very dear friend pass away at 45 from breast cancer and I know it is very difficult for the family and her friends. I pray you rest in peace and pain free. I also pray that they find a cure for cancer.
Love, Blessings, and Prayers to all family and friends of Erika.

For Erika
Remember me not for any infliction upon me
But for the shape of the smile on my face
Don't think about my mind's clumsiness or confusion
Instead think of how I exuded my own special grace
I was here to bring my kindness and laughter
Asking for nothing in return but the same
Creating fond memories through familiarity
For all those who thusly remember my name
I was fortunate to call friends family
And family was there to remedy all that ailed
In a lifetime I walked across battlefields
And have succeeded as much as I failed
Yet, every opportunity given was a gift
Each instance, a lesson learned in time
Throughout it all, the ups and downs
No heart was more grateful than mine
Remember me not for any flaws or imperfections
Only the pleasant memories which best you know
Recall them, replay them, repeat them
For this way, you can take me with you, wherever you go

Erica was the first person I met over 20 years ago in JTAA, when she was signing my 6-yr-old daughter up to play soccer. She was so confident and outgoing, cheerful and enthusiastic, that I was thrilled we were joining the JTAA sports league. As luck would have it, Erica's daughter, Danielle, played on the same team as our daughter, so we got to know Erica over the years, and we emjoyed her enthusiasm for our daughters' team and her love of ALL sports. We always recognized Erica's voice at the games when she got really excited over a wrong ref call or some other infraction on the field. Erica was always at Danielle's soccer games, cheering on the teams' wins or losses as well.
My husband Rich and I extend our deepest condolences to the Enrico family and all of Erica's extended family and friends. We know she will be missed.

Dear Erika, you were so very brave and full of grace, a wonderful "big" sister!
And to Paul, Christopher & Danielle, I have no words for you but know that you can call on me anytime. I love you all dearly.

I was very saddened to hear this news today. I was a former co-worker of Erika's and she had such courage, determination, and positivism, I was sure she would win this battle. My thoughts and prayers are with her family. friends, and all those who knew and loved her.
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft star-shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.

I will always remember Erika's beautiful smile and awesome laugh as well as her crazy sense of humor. I was blessed to be her neighbor for 11 years. There were many evenings spent in our front yards filled with laughter and music and I am so grateful to have the fabulous memories. Erika was the best mom and wife. She loved her family so much. Rest in peace, my friend..... I will miss you so much.
