Erika had many interests. She found pleasure in doing her makeup, modeling her hair and taking photos of herself. One of her greatest inspirations was Rihanna. She enjoyed listening to R & B music, horseback riding and cooking. Some of her fondest memories were when she was growing up with her brothers. They would practice their karate moves and allow her to beat up on them.

Erika was the most selfless and loving person anyone could have asked for. She loved to shop for her family and friends. She always made sure her family came first and was taken care of. She also enjoyed helping others. Though her time here was short, she has left an everlasting legacy to her family to be kind, be giving, and never give up on your dreams.

Erika will be deeply missed by her family and all those who knew her.

May she rest in peace, descansa en paz.
