Hi everyone, I created this site to collect memories from people that loved my cousin. To see and show everyone how much she is loved. I figured I would write mine first.
This woman was more than my cousin. We were born together, raised together, and we were supposed to grow old together. I, like everyone in our family and everyone that knew her, am still in disbelief about her passing. She was young, in love, in college, and working towards her dreams. She didn't need anybody but herself and that I admired about her. She put herself first while also caring deeply for everyone around her. She's been through shit in her life, but yet she always came out at the top of her own game. She loved sunflowers.
I remember coming home from Boston in March. I was a wreck going through a rocky breakup, but she spent time with me. We got drunk and had fun together in my living room, since quarantine started. Despite our closeness, I had never cried to her about anything. In March I did. I had never cried that hard and she held me close until I stopped crying. I cried more because of the moment and not the actual feelings.
She was my best friend, my soul sister. I don't have many more words to put out into the world right now, but she is someone irreplaceable that had a heart of gold. There is no place on Earth that will ever feel the same to me without her.
I love you.
Erika.
