Erika, I'm so sorry--I didn't know this happenned to you until I after I looked at my Father's death notice today, flipped the page, and saw your picture and name. I remember you from the play I was a part of (as a musician) at Galludet around 1988-89. I still have the program you signed, at my parent's home. You were in High School, but you had still made quite an impression on me with your talent and intelligence! We used to joke often with each other--I think we were the only Blacks in the play. I even talked to you on the phone a few times. I was amazed at the time that I could talk to a hearing-impaired person in that manner! I think I joked with you that if I was just a little younger, I'd be dating you! At the time, you lived maybe 2 minutes from my Grandmother. I eventually lost touch with you, but always wondered about you. I'm so sorry to find out what happenned in this manner, and a year later. You and your children did not deserve this fate. My sincere prayers and condolences to your family. Erika, please say 'Hello' to my Father in Heaven... Walter S Cosby
