Long Time No Talk / Ashley Coffey (Old Friend )
So it has been a couple years since I have talked to you on here... times are changing like crazy but i know you know and see all this I guess what made me get on here was this picture i have of you me and carly i have it in a little mermaid frame on my night stand it was us all dolled up at our 8th grade dance...boy what a night that was we were so young and so dumb to the world but yet we thought we knew it all ...that night was so much fun i know there has been so many but here comes another "if only" i could go back to that night the things i would change! i think everyone would love to go back to that time when times were simpler and you were still here... i just stare at that picture and still cant believe you are in heaven ...and that carly has had a little girl...and i will soon be a mother also...i just wish you were here i know you would have been the sensible one you would prob. be in school almost finished still fun still beautiful and still unique in your own special way... Gosh am i scared Erica please watch over me as i go thru this lil time ....i miss you like crazy love you
for whatever reason Erica always creeps into my mind. i'm sure it's because of the way she loved my daughter. you should see soncere' now...you'd be so proud! i pray for strength for your family and friends until you are all together again.
three years later ... i still can hear your voice telling me to shut up and have some fun... i can see your beauty, your intellegence, your fat man dance, your humor, and i can still hear you yelling at me that its too early for pancakes, but never to late to hang out with friends... i can see us walking down the hall and you telling me how you like the creepy, wierd guy with long hair ..dances...ugly boys that you tried to set me up with, you and kristin making me your barbie doll and holding me down and shoving food in my mouth during lent....and just being you - i miss you --
Missin you... / Danielle
My dear dear Erica i miss you so much, time goes by so fast and i never want to take for granted how much you still mean to me. So much has changed, like i wish you could be there when i get married or be here to see the day my lil boy comes into the world... i wish i could explain just how much i miss you and wish that you were here... I love you Close
My guardian Angel / Kristin Davis
a poem I wrote for my guardian angel..
I know God’s assigned me Many Angels Not just one, or two or three. And I know they’re not just any angels They’re ones hand picked for me.
Im sure the ones hes chosen know me pretty well They’d know my biggest fears, and my darkest secrets they could tell.. Yes, im sure they are plenty of angels God has added along the way, And I know I keep them busy, each and every day. But I think I have a special Angel.. One that knows me.. body, soul, and heart. One who, in my life, once, and still, plays a big part.
One who takes my hand when im alone and in pain One who walks beside me when im walking through the rain One who taps my shoulder to show me what to do One who throws her arms around me, no matter what im going through.. One who shined the light when I didn’t know where to run One who broke my fall, when my life should have been done. One who really loves me and knows me more than many others do..
What im saying is Thanks, Because I believe that Angels you..
I love and miss you Erica, I feel you around me all the time.. I truely do believe you're my special Angel. And one day I hope we'll be angels hand in hand helping others in God's Army together. Close
I visited the accident site for the first time on monday. I didn't even know where I was going. I went with a friend, never have I been down beach road in my life,but monday I did. It was 930 at night too! I felt like that road would never end. She didn't even tell me that we were coming up on the accident site. I saw the stop sign at the last minute and my stomach dropped. Something inside of me quivered and told me this was the spot. As I approached I gazed into the night upon the brightly lit white cross of yours. I held in my tears. Erica you're missed but so loved. i've been going through a lot lately in and out of the hospital and doctors offices this past week.I really need you here by my side. I need your love and protection. To know that in the end everything's going to be alright and whatever I may have to do.. Surgery or lots of treatments that you'll be there pushing me forward and giving me something else to smile about. Their's 4 or 5 sunflower stalks and sunflowers growing in the flower bed. every morning i go to my car they remind me of you.my birthdays in two days and yours shortly following.until we meet again ;) I love you Erica and Miss you sunshine! keep on smiling! :)

It's funny how life goes on, people change, what was important to me 2 and a half years ago isnt important anymore. Still, a days doesn't go by that I dont think of you. Things I couldn't do after you died are slowly becoming things I enjoy again. Reed still works at Antonio's and I still go see him... without you sadly but not without remembering our weekly dinner dates there or how we were supposed to eat there the night you died.
I still haven't gone to the crash site, I passed it once, well twice but I had my eyes closed and my head in my lap cuz I didn't want to see it. Round two, I did keep my eyes open and I saw your cross. It sucked.
It's still hard to watch old show choir tapes and see you dancing next to me. I still remember the last time I saw you and how you shared your cookie with me, fatty. And, how you begged me not to leave. That still haunts me.
I run across things that have sunflowers on it, at the most unexpected times, and I love it. I wish you were here to meet Alyssa Kate, she's so cute. And she has a little sunflower outfit that just made me want to cry when I first saw it. I told her later when I had her to myself that you would have loved her and that I would tell her about you when she got older. She's gonna be a neat kid. Good genes I guess.
On days that I'm down I wish you were here to do something dumb to make me laugh, I try to remember the funny things that you used to do like the time you climbed up onto the lockers at school. I'm doing ok buddy, you'd be proud.
I miss you / Keara Horton (a friend )
I woke up this morning thinking about you. looking at photos really reminds me of how much i miss you. you had such a big heart for people and that what i miss the most about you. I miss you. and i love you.
Thinking of you. / Tina (Friend) To My Dearest Erica, I was driving down the road the other day and I saw a girl that looked like you. I looked over at her and she made the strangest face at me, like you used to do. It made me realize that you're still with us. no matter where we go or what we do, you'll always be a part of our lives. my mom planted sunflower seeds this year, I can't wait to see if they'll grow. Graduation has come and gone. You were mentioned and it made me want to cry. I miss you and love you dearly. The memories that you've left me with are ones that i'll hold and cherrish every day. Your smile was like the sun and your laugh was one in a million. i'll never forget the things you did and all the great accomplishments you made in your short time. You truly are my inspiration! please give my grandaddy,uncle, and keith all a hug and kiss for me. I miss them dearly. I love you sweetie. Be will me in my dreams tonight.

Missing You / Amber Pannill-Thomas (Friend)
Today is a bad day. A friend of the family just passed away, and it brings up memories of you. I pray that he is in Heaven singing with you and all of the other angels. We all love and miss you. Continue to watch over us and guide us!
It seems like just yesterday you were here, making the room brighter when you came to class. You made teaching religious ed more fun, not just for your fellow classmates, but for me as well. I continue to pray that your memory continues to burn bright in the lives of all who knew you. Your sweet face will be in my mind forever.
Miss Erica.. / Ryan
Miss Erica, it's been 2 years.. the pain of losing you never goes away. we all just cope, because thats what we have to do. like your mom said, we can dwell on the what if's... but what is that gonna do for us? i did for so long.. and sometimes i find myself telling people your story and saying "if we had school that day, things would be different.." but who knows. I know i WISH you were here, and i long to hear your voice, see your smile, joke with you, laugh with you, dance with you, sing... i know i can do that when i get to heaven, sadly, it's not soon enough. you were such a big part of so many peoples lives, including mine. i dont think the tears will ever stop falling, and i'll never keep your life a secret. everyone should know about you, your life and what joy you brought to everyone else's.. how february 22, 2005 was one of the worst days of my life.. february 21 should i say. it's been 2 years without you erica, and it feels like yesterday we were hitting eachother in "I drove all night" because we were WAAYYY too close.. [lol], or making fun of [you know who] because she did the moves wrong... hitting mailboxes because boys made our lives harder..... yeah, it'll never get easier. but i'll always remember, and i'll always love you, and i'll always always miss you.. my guardian angel, i cant wait to see you at those pearly gates. Close
Love You / Amber Pannill-Thomas (friend)
Two years today..it seems like it's been eternity. We're all still thinking of you..Especially when little goofy things happen, it triggers amazing memories of you. We love you and miss you! With love, Amber Pannill-Thomas Close

.../ Claudia (Really really good friend )
I miss you today .. more then Ever... I dont know why .. I mean I think about you every day and you know that ... I've gone through some stuff the past week months and for some reason I'm still standing.. and no matter what anyone says .. I know its because I have the most beautiful gurdian angel out there. .. I have a new boyfriend named Tyler ... him and I were watching The Water Boy last night ... and I just cried .. because you and I use to always watch that together .... He also lost a best friend, when he was 8... He said it was hard.. but I'm not sure whats harder... not really knowing why that person is gone because you are so young.. or being older and more mature and knowing you wont see that person again until Heaven ... Everytime I put on my shoes, I look at the cross with the heart and EDK going through the banner thats tattooed on my foot and tear up... It's been nearly 2 years and I still think im in shock ... I told tyler everything about you and how we use to be back in middle school .. the beach trips... kd trips ... movie nights... snorting mtn dew ... all of it .. and he laughs as well as I .... it feels so good sometime just to talk about all the old memories... I miss you soo much Erica and can't wait for you to lead me into the gate ... until we meet again ... continue to watch out for me and I love you ... keep smiling!! Love Always ... Claudia --
Ps : I have been trying so hard to find the movie Ginger Snaps on sale ... I want to buy it and fast foward to the "ewwwww" part.. then rewind it and watch it over again ... just like we use to ....
Erica, There isn't a day that goes by that I do not think of you. It is hard for me to even look at this Memorial web page. Sometimes life is hard to understand. I was driving on 288 the other day and a tracker trailer truck came over on me. He almost ran me into a guard rail. I felt you there next to me, guiding my hands in the right directions. I still have my bracelet on, it is about to break. I am keeping my promise, I will not remove it myself. It has been over a year know and the pain is still there. I keep remembering the night you almost hooked up with my brother. Boy, what a night that one was. My last year in high school was not the same. Reflections lost that spunk we had. Nevertheless, we tried our best to make you proud of us. I know that you are in a better place now but, I still wish that you were still with us. To the family of Erica: I wan to thank you for everything that you have done to keep her name remembered. Not only her name but who she is. I know it has to be hard living with your shinning star. She will never be gone, she lives in everyone heart. She will live on in every memory and story we have. You were the ones that molded her into the wonderful person she was. I wish you the best of luck in everything that you do!

the changing of the seasons / Rachel Southard (friend - dance class )
Fall is now here and it reminds me so much of Erica. The changing colors on the trees, she loved them very much. The color changes remind me so much of Erica's personality. Changing from day to day, but it was never negative. She kept her energy and smiles up no matter what just to keep others smiling.
Erica, this will be another change in the season that I will think about you everyday. I miss you more and more. Close
