What a beautiful person Ericka was. I will never forget when she told me about her granddaughter and the slip and slide in the living room with butter! I worked with her at Boyds. She was a tough cookie. I knew some days, after getting out of the hospital or being sick, she didn't feel good but would power through her shift. May all your special memories of Ericka help find you peace. - Posted by Becky on March 27, 2023
