I am so sorry for your families loss. I went to school with Erika. She took care of my dad before he passed and my nephew Seth. I appreciate how well she cared for them. She had such a beautiful smile.
Erika was a great person with a beautiful soul and will forever be missed. My heart goes out to her family. I’m grateful I had the opportunity to know her.

Unseen, unheard, but always near
so loved, so missed, so very dear”
