Memorial Service

Erica's Remembrance:

She chose an “outside-in” house, with walls of windows, and filled our home with the sky.

She put us out with the cat.  She taught us the names of flowers.  She brought the leaves inside.

She filled our fists with pens and paints and showed us the beauty in our own art.

She listened to the details, and cared as much as we did.  She was there, into the night, until our decisions were made.

She taught us that we are extraordinary, yet just like everyone else.

She said, “I’m with you,” in moments of despair, when no ears but hers, could have born the burden of our fears.


She was there, without judgment, to show us we were not alone, filling us with strength, to emerge healed and whole.
