Today is my beautiful nieces birthday. It is a sad and happy day. Sad because I miss her so, and happy because I had the honor to her being my niece and cherish the memories. She loved her birthday and I miss calling her and wishing her happy birthday. Hearing her laugh and talk about what was going on. She would probably be on the road somewhere...Erika will never be forgotton and always missed.

Our Beloved Erika has gone to a Higher Place to continue her Journey in Spirit. She will always be with us in our memories and in our Hearts.
One of my favorite memories is when I picked Erika up at Sunshine House in Berkeley. I couldn't remember how to get back down the hill. Erika, 3 or 4 yrs. old in the car seat, pointed which way to turn at every intersection. She directed me back to Nancy's apartment successfully. I have respected her sense of direction ever since.
Another cherished memory was when her Mother was diagnosed with cancer and needed full time care. Erika walked out of her life in New York and came home to care for her Beloved Mother to the end. She loved her Mother beyond words to express as Nancy adored her Beloved Daughter, Erika, as well.
I hold and cherish memories and Love for you both in my Heart of Hearts as I believe your Journey continues together in a Higher Realm in God's Divine Embrace. Beloved Ones, Erika and Nancy, my Love will endure for you into Eternity.

Just wanna say if it wasn't for my good friend Scott back in college days, I wouldn't have met this beautiful person. What I can remember about her is that she was easy to get along with, straight forward with her thoughts, very supportive with her friends and family and knows how to have a good time among close friends, anywhere we hangout at, she is the kind of woman you can enjoy her company and have good conversation with.
Erika hun, you will surely be missed, just wish I had more time to get to know you as a beautiful person that you are; sure miss our old hangout gang, you, me, Scott, Glenn, Sherwin and a few others who role with us every now and then. RIP luv.

Erika, my dear sweet, beautiful friend you where the kind of woman I'd Marry with no doubts in my mind that you'd the one I'd want to have by my side in this world as I'd love, respect and protect your heart with every step we took together.
You where intelligent, gorgeous, funny, sincere, helpful and had a really wonderful sense of humor that will never forget as long as I live.
(She'd say: Hey Sherwin What's Upper!!! I Loved When She Said That)
I thank my buddy Scott Lawrence for introducing me to such a great young lady.
I wish that her passing on was not true but in the wake of this terrible reality that her Family and Friends are taking on all I can say is that it was an ultimate honor to have met such a wonderful woman as...

I leave this tribute with a heavy heart, tears flowing and so much Love. There is family we can not choose, bound by blood. And there is Family that we can, bound by the the ties that be. I am so greatful that you choose me as your as your little sister. Teaching me to drive (in the east Oakland sideshow & telling me if couldn't drive in the sideshow I just couldn't fuckin drive). Teachings how to take the train in NYC. All the years I spent living with you... Cause you always made a place for me & man E you just always been right here. There are no words for the pain I feel. I know that you were a burst of energy, love & light. The Love & Support you gave to me I will carry with me on this journey. Erika "Flirty" McCurty thank you for blessing my life. You will always be my Big Sister and I will carry you in my heart for all eternity. I Love You E!

I was deeply saddened today to learn that my very first childhood best friend passed away. Erika McCurty was my very best friend when I was three years old and living in the Bay Area. We met each other at Sunshine House when we were going to the Montessori school in the Berkeley hills. She was so fun and and had the most amazing and infectious smile. We kept in touch with one another over the years like pen pals, only seeing each other a handful of times, which I fondly remember involved the buying of stickers and taking the bus to her favorite shops. Years went by and we lost touch after high school. After friending numerous Erika McCurty's on Facebook, I found her. We exchanged numbers and I was quickly dialing...we talked a long time that night, giggled and laughed. It was so wonderful to hear her voice and we had lots to catch up on. We agreed that we would try to see one another soon and sadly we never did, just birthday posts and comments on Facebook here and there. I completely regret not seeking her out and making it more of a priority. Her passing pains me deeply and I can only imagine how hard it is for family and close friends. The moral of the story is don't wait, there may not be a tomorrow, you may not have another chance, so say what you need to say, do what you need to do, be good to the people you love. Rest in peace dear sweet Erika.

My heart is broken right now. I want to send prayers to the family, Auntie Sally, Auntie Mary, Grandma. . .I know this isn't easy at all. She was such a joy to be around and always a listening ear. She was my go with the flow friend and I loved that about her.
I am grateful to have gotten the time that I did with her in Dallas. She was a high school friend and was always the same Erika. We share over 20 years of friendship and she never once changed. That's what you call genuine. We are going to miss you E.
You have touched a lot of lives and friendships that go back forever. I'm praying for the family. She loved you guys soooo much. I felt like family just hearing how much she loved you guys. Thank you for setting up a page for us to celebrate her friendship and send prayers for strength. . . We are really really really missing you Erika.
I was calling over the weekend and it was going to voicemail and I started getting nervous. . .I know why now. You were resting and didn't want to be disturbed. Rest in Peace my friend. We love you girlie!

I'll miss u little Sis
September 28, 2015
This by far is one of the hardest post I've had to write. Never in a million years would I ever have thought I would be posting this on YOUR page. I couldn't even sleep last night. Every time I started to doze off I kept seeing ur face or hearing ur voice and I thought it was a dream u were gone. I kept checking Facebook praying there would be a post from you saying ur account was hacked. That post never came. All I see are messages from the lives you've touched over the years. Moments and memories flooded my mind all night. Remember when we went to ATL during the Olympics and my cousin hooked us up with those passes to Jack the Rapper! So many celebrities around us and all u wanted to do was get a pic with Treach from Naughty By Nature. Well, u got it! The 10pm walks around Lake Merritt when I lived on Fairmont (We were fearless and crazy back then). Even taking the wrong ferry from Staton Island and having to ride the bus through Jersey (which we both agree was like riding through West Oakland) So many moments, so many memories. These I will treasure. E, E Money, Flirty McCurty, E Dizzle "Wrecka". We just spoke on my birthday when u called me at 11:45pm and said, "Yeah I know it's late but IT STILL COUNTS. I didn't want ur ass calling and cussing me out thinking I forgot 808" LOL -- I'll even miss the way u used to say something to annoy me and keep at it like the annoying little sister u are. I take comfort in knowing ur in Nancy's arms where you'll be safe. I'll miss u Sis. Rest in Paradise
Fun Times with Erika
September 28, 2015
We lived in Dallas and would go for our walks Against Ovarian Cancer. There was a bike trail by her first apartment in Plano and we would walk it for 2 to 3 miles several times out of the week. We walked and talked and spoke to the folks on the trail. She would laugh saying I was being way too friendly. Living in New York for a few years she said you just minded your busines. The funny part about us is that after we walked we would go to the corner store and buy junk and give all of our calorie burning back. But we had fun with the whole process. And those times with my friend was priceless.
We would have our girls night out on paydays. We called them field trips because we took public transportation. She was closer to the Dart train than I was so I would drive to her house, park my truck and we'd throw on our tennis shoes and catch Dart to a new restaurant then off to the movies we went. We tried so many restaurants we were going to start blogging about the different places in the City but neither one of us ever took notes when we went so we'd forget by the time we got back what to say. We would cry laughing every time we realized we didn't have enough information to make it worth reading. Those were the greatest times. She was definitely down to roll. You could always count on Erika.
