Erica was loyal good friend. She loved her children with every ounce of her soul. I love her, and will miss her so very much.
To my loving ⤠⤠⤠daughter Erica.
Although time has passed and all I could do is live your life with you through pictures, I have always loved you. Although I was denied to be a part of your life for 37 years, I will not be denied being a part of your new life with God. As the saying goes, time will heal all wounds, you will ALWAYS be in my heart. As we celebrate your life and your passing we understand that God had a better plan and place for you in his kingdom.
Love Always,
Your BIOLOGICAL FATHER,

A Loving Friend In Heaven
As the sun sets upon this life
And your body is laid to rest
I know you’ll be up in Heaven
Because God only takes the best
I know you’re watching over me
And it takes away the pain
I will carry you in my heart
Until we meet again
My world is a little darker
Now that we’re apart
But the memories are shining brightly
Within this broken heart
You touched the lives of those you loved
And we wanted you to stay
But you were needed up in Heaven
And God whispered “come this wayâ€
I know whenever I’m lonely
And this smile becomes a frown
I’ll look up to the sky above
And they’ll be and Angel looking down
We all miss you dearly Erica. Rest in Heaven
