It’s been 13 years since you have been gone, and like your mom says, a song, a movie, a butterfly, and sometimes just seeing a dog like Taz brings up Memories and Emotions.  Your Moms been doing pretty good, the twins are growing like weeds and all these other youngins too!  Love You

Well its been 13 years since you went to your heavenly home. I miss you and feel you with me in a song, a butterfly, or a movie. Love and miss you Mom!

Happy Birthday, I added some pictures of you, your mom, the twins, Jennifer, Papaw, Nanny, Ashley and Amber, and your favorite place the mountains. Happy heavenly Birthday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 

Happy Birthday tomorrow, this is a special one for You this year. I made you some pretty flowers, when the rain stops I’ll put them up for you. 
So much to say, I just don’t know where to start, I’m sure your watching over so many.  Your Moms doing good, just working too much and a little bit sick, nanny is doing good, her new medicine seems to be helping her to feel better, and everyone else is doing pretty good. A lots changed, some good and some bad, but times are changing so to speak. 
I can’t believe you would have been 40, this year. I guess I’m old. We all know you are in a beautiful place, pain free, laughing and seeing so many beautiful people and things.  Spending time with So many loved ones, happy and carefree. Well I’ve rambled enough and I just wanted you to know that we miss and love you.  Happy Birthday Erika, 

Well another year has passed and sometimes its just like it was yesterday. You would have been 40 years old. You are always with me! I know you are pain free and happy! You were my baby girl and I have all these beautiful memories. I was so proud of you! You fought so hard and I know you were tired. I know you are Home in heaven with everyone. Happy Birthday! Love Mom

Well another year has passed. I can't believe its been twelve years. I woke up because this day I was getting ready for 0300am shift. I am working now. As the years pass not a day goes by I dont think about you. How strong you were and never gave up. All the doctor visits ,surgeries and everything you had to go through. With all this you still tried to very hard to get through it all. Of course you always loved holidays and loved to decorate. Of course I didnt but you always did mine you and your brother. You learned to manage and get through so many obstacles. I am so very proud you are my daughter! I love and miss you everyday! I will wait until we meet again. As I know you are always watching over each and everyone one of us in the family. I see a butterfly and know you are with me. Love you always and forever mom!

It has been six years sent you went home. Some days are easier than others, I'll hear a song or see something that reminds me of you. I find peace when I come to the mountains. It is like I am closer to you and I could almost reach out and touch you. I miss you so ,but I know I will see you soon. Love Mom.

I am so enjoying being with your Mom during this difficult time for her. Memories are hard sometimes but they also can be happy as well. You are missed by your Mom, Carla, Jenny, your grandmothers, Tammy, David, Jacob, Ashley, and me. Papaw!

Oh my it doesn't seem like its been 6 years since God called you home. I am like your Mom when I see something it reminds me so much of You like Butterflies! We Miss You but We all know that you are n such a better place and You Baby Girl are just like a Butterfly free and flying around with no more pain or hurt. Love you!

Happy birthday Erika!  It doesn't seem like you have been gone from us that long so much seems like it was just yesterday!  I know that you are in such a better place with no pain or no hurting and as we all go through everything down here You are still with us each and every day! Nanny is here now and I know that would make you happy!  One day we will all get to be together again!  LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU

Erika: I know pain and tears are gone. I grieve not as much for you, cause I know heaven is sweeter for your being there. I grieve for your Mom who misses you so much and for all the family that misses you. It wont be much longer till I see you again.

08/16/2014-Happy Birthday! I miss you, but I know you are always with me especially when I here your favorite songs. When I see a butterfly or here Dolly or The Judds I know you are telling me it will be okay. I will see you again. All the memories you gave me can never go away and I realize I was truly blessed. I LOVE YOU MOM!

Happy Mothers Day! Sending you Roses to Heaven! I miss you love mom!

Five years gone and I think of you daily! I am at your favorite place to visit with Dad,Abi and Jaxon. They have helped me and as I look out the room and see all the beautiful mountains with the clouds covering I feel a peace. I know in my heart that you are in wonderful place and no pain and suffering. It still is hard as I miss you! Love Mom

Well today it has been 5 years now since you went to heaven, somethings here on earth never seem to get easier but we all know that you are in a much better place and that seems to smooth the hurt! I see that Jacob has talked to you, he has grown up so much! Miss you and love you!

Erika words will never describe the loss are family has faced. The heartache or pain everyone faces on this earth without u but we do know u are happier and better off. This world never made things smooth for u but The Lord had his plan and we have to except that. We try to face things that would make u proud of us as your family but we will always fail cus god has his plan. We love u....

Hey momma its been about five years since I've seen you. Things aren't really the same since you been gone. Ashley has been doing a lot of wrong things. Daddy has married a woman he really likes. They have been married for a year now. I just gave up on trying to separate them because its not going to happen. I love you and miss you very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!<3

A week ago I was on my way home and it was beginning to rain and , I looked over and saw a yellow Butterfly and all of a sudden I felt as if you were riding with me! It was fluttering around like the rain wasn,t bothering it I slowed down to watch it for a minute and then it just flew away. Every time I see a butterfly I think of you! You are letting us know your ok! Love you!

Erika u miss you so much. I wish you was still here but I know your in a better place where you aren't hurting and your looking over your kids and faith and me, we all miss you, faith still has dreams about you and talks to you in her sleep. sometime I wonder if you aren't there with her when she talking to you/

I am in the Smokies with your mom, and what a Beautiful place this can be and as I looked out the window this morning I know you would be loving it! But I know you are seeing it from a much better place with a much better view than we have down here! I know that your view up there is so much more then anything weseedown here! Iknow you are looking down at all things down here! Love you

Four years ago today you went to be with the Lord. You are always in my thoughts and I miss you each and everyday! Even as time passes some days are easier and some days are unbearable; but I know it is so painful because I loved so much! I know you are free of pain and I will see you again somedayand this helps! Love mom

Well your niece and nephew will be four they are truly God's miracles ,weighing in at a little over 1 lb and 2 lbs. God has truly blessed me because he knew what was for the future. These beautiful miracles have helped to ease the pain! Love you and miss you!! Mom

I remember the day when you were up at the house and we went out on the front porch to try and download you some ringtones for your cell phone, you wanted Katy Perry songs. Well guess who I have begun to listen to now!  And on that day I was like why do you want her! Huh I guess you knew She was gonna be pretty good! I just wanted you to know that and that I was thinking of ya. Love ya

On this day you went home. You have no more pain or suffering! As I was going threw I found a poem you wrote and would like to share!Seasons change
Family comes and goes away in our life from day to day Rivers may run dry but yet we wonder why
JESUS comes in our life and he is the one to help us survive! I know that their is a special angel watching over us!

I can not believe it been 2 years now since you have been gone! We all miss you but we all know you are in no more pain and no more suffering! You would also be so happy that the kids gpt saved and baptised and are now members of the church! But as I am sure you are watching over them! We all miss you and will see you again one day! Love you Carla

I do not believe any of us knew the pain you were in all the time. God did and chose to end your pain and suffering. You are home and we will see you soon. no more pain no more tears joy and happiness forever.
