Sweet Princess Warrior Erica, Thank you for all you came to teach us. Thank you for teaching us about tenacity and endurance, for teaching us about hope in the face of the unknown, for teaching us how to be brave despite the pain and for teaching us to give without ever asking for anything in return. Your gentle and loving heart brightened our days and your beautiful smile filled our hearts with joy. You didn't always say much, but your smile spoke a million beautiful words that made everyone smile too! Your laughter was always from the deepest of your being, true, honest, raw and real!
In the short years that you lived here on earth, you lived a lifetime of goodness and impacted a multitude of us, who are now counting our blessings, simply because we were fortunate enough to have known you, fortunate enough to have been loved by you. You taught us all about unconditional love; a love that asks no questions, forgives and never looks back but marches forward, daily, with purpose! You leave a legacy behind that is impossible to measure, one that will continue to grow because we will continue to honor you; today, we pick up the torch of kindness, the torch of generosity and the torch of love and we too, will try to make you proud as we carry your legacy forward. Until we meet again, through our tears we will smile because we know that you didn't lose the fight but you won the battle! You are completely healed and dancing before your King. Until we meet again sweet Princess.......
