Dear Mommy,
I am writing this because I miss you and i hope that grandma is taking care of you up there. I have been thinking about you a lot lately. I couldn't sleep last night because i was thinking about you. I wish you were here with me.

Mommy
Its been 10 years since you past. It doesnt seem real i am hurting so much. I wish you were here i love you with all my heart. I am a high school student now. I am having a quince and we are going to have a couple of pictures of you and grandma. I have a picture of you on my bed right now as i write this. I miss you with all my heart. Even if you arent here physically you are always here spirtually. Every time i see the door open when the wing blows it i think its you and let you in. Angel and Issiah are growing up on us. I remember when they were just babies. I hope you are okay and grandma is taking care of you. I will see you again one day. I will always be your daughter. Uncle Zo misses you so much. Right now i have your picture in my lap. I wish you could be at my quince. We seen flowers at your grave today and we are wondering who brought them there. I have a best friend but of course you already know that. I miss you mommy with all my heart.

"I thought about you today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories and your picture hung up in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake from which I will not ever part. God has you in His arms, I will forever have you in my heart." I miss you more than ever!

Afternoon Sis, hope your well and your rested in peace... May you be blessed with all the riches of the kingdom..! Love your Big Brother...

We lost you just two years ago,
A sorrow that still sings
Of all the tears and emptiness
The loss of loved ones brings.
Our sadness comes from missing you,
And missing you from love,
And love from all the love in you
That we became part of.
Your love is still alive in us,
We feel it ever new;
Our mourning's filled with happiness
By memories of you.

ERICA, I STILL CAN'T BELIVE YOU ARE GONE.I MISS YOU SO MUSH,CARLOSJR IS IN SCHOOL NOW.I WITH YOU WHERE HERE NOW SO WE CAN CHILL LIKE WE DID.I WILL ALWAY REMEMBER HOW YOU WHERE THERE FOR ME WHEN I HAD MY SON.YOUR KIDS ARE GETING BIG.DINO IS ALWAY'S THINKING ADOUT YOU ALL THE TIME.

I LOVE YOU

Its been 2 years and the pain doesnt hurt any less Ill always remember the good times along with the bad u were always there ur kids miss and love u very much along with dino . u r always in my thoghts

Words can never ever express how much i miss you. You meant everything to me. You were not only my BEST-FRIEND but a sister that ive always wish to have. Its been about two years since you were taken away from us. And its still hard for me to realize what had happend. I wake up every morning and go to bed every nite wondering what your doing. Hoping that you are out there in world thinking of us too. I miss you sooo much. i would give up everything i have to be spend one last day with you. My jordans, my clothes, myself to spend one day with you to tell you how much you've always meant to me. To tell you face to face that I LOVE YOU and thanx for always being there for me. To tell you stay so that we can grow old togther. BEST FRIENDS FOREVER ERICA. always and forever. until we meet again.

Hey Ma, Thinking of you right now as I sit by the pc. You always know our thoughts & at times we hear you. Bears quincinera is right around the corner & I know you will be there with us on that very specialy day as your niece turns 15 anos. I love you & wish I had told you more often, Its still hard for many to beleive your gone from us physicaly but you will always be in our thoughts, dreams, visions & ears. There is a song that came on the radio one day as I left your apartment & got in the van & EVERYTIME I hear that song its you telling me to stay strong &even when everything in life is going wrong. I love you & we miss you very much......

You were an angel god sent me to keep me on my feet. You have always helped me out when my heart would get weak. You held my spirit and showed me the way to my light. You taught me how to live and taught me when to fight. You helped me become someone I have always wanted to be. Someone who is strong and someone who believes. You were my shoulder to lean on when I needed to cry, wings to lift me when I can`t manage to fly, you`re an angel god sent me to keep me on my feet, no longer do I worry about my heart getting weak. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY ERICA. i love you and miss you so much. unitl we meet again.
your bff
your lil' sis

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERICA!sorry that im writing a day late. but i didnt 4get about you. i know that we would have had the biggest party of the month for you. cleaning up the house, setting up the lights, buying the drinks, just running around going crazy to make sure we all had a great time. but we are going to do the best we can to celebrate your birthday and issiahs. i miss you sooo much. but happy birthday and like always im always thinking, missing, and wishing you were here with us. until we meet again Erica, i love you.

Erica:

well its been about two months now and i miss you so much and keep thinkin of you. And still fell like i'm far away and tryin to call you thinkin you still here. I haven't accept that your with god now. I find myself wantin to call you to come by and visit oor even just to talk. I just miss you you so much . You've done alot for me and have been there for me. I kept callin your phone just to hear your voice and thinkin your gonna pik up. I'll never forget you i think about you everyday and talk about the fun times we had together. God i don't understand why god felt it was your time to take you away from your family and your friends. I'll remember you in my heart alwys. Ray tell the kids Hi, and i send my love. Love always,and forever.

Erica,

It doesn't seem real, i met you through my cousin Nicole and it was fun the few times we all hung out. I remember the last time i saw you two was when Nicole came home, she had Issiah with her and they spent the night, you kept calling my phone to check on them. I remember taking them home the next night and saying goodnight to the three of you. The last thing i said was goodbye and gave my Nicole a kiss on the cheek. It was only the next day that you both left, and it's so hard. There is not one day that goes by i don't think about it, and i just pray you look out for each other and protect the ones you love. God bless the both of you, and god bless your babies.

erica

a month has gone by without you here by my side. i miss you soooo much and i find so hard to understand that you are never coming back. as much strength that you have given me, im afraid that it wont last to long. i find myself wanting to pick up the phone to call you and i pray that you will answer but i know that you wont. i just try to think of all the good times we had together to cheer me up but its so hard knowing that you are not her to laugh with me. i know that you are in better place looking after all of us but still i wish you were here with us instead. i just hope that later on in life we can understand why God took such a beautiful, cheerful, warm hearted person like you away from us. just give me the strength to understand and continue my life without my bestfriend. watch over the babies, your father, Lorenzoe, and the rest of your family and friends. until we meet again Erica, "i love and miss you so much!!"

your girl

~Priscilla Ruiz~

To my one and only sister-in-law that I will ever have! Its one month today that GOD called you home and it still hurts really bad...what’s going to hurt even more is when I throw a party for one of my kids I will be waiting for you to walk in. I know you will be there only I will not be able to see you. Seeing Alexandra and Isaiah and the beautiful bond they have as little kids reminds me of you and Lorenzo when you were that same age. I will forever CHERRISH the memories when I used to baby-sit you, and how you thought you were such a big girl because you were auntie Erica to my girls. I have never seen my husband more hurt in my life then the day we found out you were gone. Please give your Dad and Lorenzo all the strength they need as for this has hit them the hardest. As for your Babies I'm going to try and be there as much as I can to help your Dad and Lorenzo. One day I will see you again...until then sis.

To my sister Erica Marie Barrera.....I miss you now and will miss you in day's to come. I'm sorry that we didn't get to spend the time that a brother and sister should have together; but feel better knowing that your in the comfort of the lord. I'll alway's remeber the smile you showed and the kind words that you shared with me and ours. Cherishing the three years that we spent together and the memory's that that brings will alway's comfort me. I want you to know as I'm ashamed to say that I never got the chance to say that "I Love You". I hope some day we can share in the memories as a brother and sister should. Always yours....and yours always your brother Gilbert Barrera Sr.

Ray,

I am really sorry for what happen, Just want to let you know that if there is anything I can do to help you please let me know I am always a phone call oway.

Dear Ray,

I was so sorry to hear about your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. May God grant you all strengh and comfort.

Dear Ray,

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May God stay by your side during this tragic time.

Dear Uncle Ray, Cousins Gil, Ray Jr. & Jessie,

Kevin & I were both very saddened to hear of Erica's passing. Please know that we will keep all of you in our prayers. We ask that God welcome Erica in his arms and that God give you comfort and strength in the days ahead. Please know if you need anything - we are just a phone call away. Love, Kevin & Debbie

erica

its been a week from today that you have past and it is still hard for me to believe. you were like a big sister to me as well as a best friend. we were there for each no matter what and we had some great times together. those are the days that i will cherish and remember forever. i just wish that there was some way to turn back time and change that day but i know that there isnt. but i promise to stay strong for the babies. i promise you, your brothers, and your father to do my best for the babies. i will continue to play that roll of an aunt to Alexandra and Issiah and a godmother to Angel. until we meet again... love you always

*give amiee and my grandfather the strength to get better*

I met Erica through Aimee Luevano. I got to spend some time with Erica on some occassions. Even though she was only my acquaintance I thought she was a very nice and respectful person. My condolences go out to her family and kids. Erica you are in our hearts and soul. God Bless You.

I'm very sorry that you have lost someone very close to you, I know how you feel because I lost my childs father 2yrs. ago. I don't know how she died but I hope it was'nt to violence because that's how my boyfriend died and when your dealing with a death like that it is very hard.I will pray for you and that angel that had to leave you after 22yrs. But know that she had to go home because god felt she that her work here on earth was done.Look to the sky when ever you think about her and know that she is with god,and that one day you will be with her again. Love,Always Mellissa Brown just someone who was looking through the paper and decided to do something nice. If you would like to e-mail feel free to do anytime. God Bless and take care.

Dear Ray, Please accept my deepest sympathy in the loss of your sister and may you always remember her in your prayers before you fall asleep each night. SHe's is good hands now.
