God's comfort and blessings to Erica's children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Erica was my inspiration during our years at the U of S. I was richly blessed to call her friend. She was generous, gracious, full of kindness and good deeds. Her sense of humour, honesty, strong work ethic, and positive attitude in the face of adversity will never be forgotten. She truly cared for others and made a difference in every life she touched. What a beautiful woman and shining example she was! I will miss her terribly and grieve the loss of a wonderful friend. Knowing Erica's faith in GOD, I am looking forward to seeing her again some day and what a reunion that will be! May the GOD of all love and compassion, comfort, heal, and give each one of you peace. Erica's greatest wish is to see each one of you again and to forever be together. I will treasure her beautiful shining memory.

My deepest condolences to Hertha, on the loss of your daughter, Helen, Ruthie and Carol on the loss of your sister, and to Erica's children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. I have many fond childhood memories of Erica. Many memories from our times spent together at the lake. Colleen and I spent some time reminiscing our childhood memories on Monday. Thinking of you in your time of loss. And to my cousin Erica, a fond farewell to a strong, hardworking woman. Love from Jeannette and Colleen.

Had the privilege of working with Erica at McKitrick a number of years ago. She was a very good, hard working, dedicated teacher and a special lady. Sincere condolences to the family at this difficult time.

To my cousins, I am heartbroken to hear of Aunty Erica's passing. She was such a sweet lady. I admired her courage and the determination. She always remembered our family in Ontario with her letters and made an effort to see us when we visited.. My dad and mom (Uncle Elmer and Aunty Vera) had just recently received a card from her for their anniversary. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to you and your families. Sincerely and holding you close, Valerie McLean and family.
