"I remember playing a game with you Yvette and Diane and Diane yelling out the wrong thing and us all laughing so hard we cried! You put your head in my lap and screamed with laughter!!! We laughed so much.... I miss that... Mom"

"Erica - I was saddened to hear of your passing and will always remember your kind, gentle and happy nature! Heaven just got a little bit brighter. Rest in peace now - we will always remember you! Alex Pidek"

"Erica: It was a joy knowing you this short time. Taylor will certainly miss the moments the two of you shared at Beverly Park. She was looking forward to sharing the summer with her Ms. Erica. You have made a permanent imprint in her heart and her life. Although you are greatly missed by Miss Taylor, she is somewhat at ease knowing God has made you an Angel to guard and protect her. Gone too soon... Danielle and Taylor (Jackson)"

"Erica was my daughter Elizabeth's dear friend from Calusa Elementary. What wonderful memories we have of the two of them climbing the monkey bars together and being so incredibly competitive in everything they did. Erica had such a big heart and loved her family so very much. I will never forget when Angie was pregnant with Evan and Evan finally arrived and to Erica he was the living baby doll that she was so excited about. She would just stare at him in awe. What a wonderful big sister and beautiful daughter. Erica you will be missed by all who were blessed to know you Heidi and Don Hancock"

"Erica, It is/was an honor and a pleasure knowing you for the amount of time that God has allowed me. I had a very difficult time explaining this to Taelor, lately she has been recalling all of her Ms. Erica momments. She said, "I remember when I went on a field trip and I was in Ms. Erica's group. There was no microwave to heat my lunch up, so Ms. Erica put it in the sun to warm it!" That's you, someone who was always finding a way to make things happen. You get my stamp of approval for being a great human being that left your mark in the life of many. I will forever protect my mark. Put in a good word for me up there in heaven. Missing you dearly, Tish and Taelor"

"Erica: You were always such a kind, warm and gentle person. Never saw you without that bright smile. I know you are smiling down at us. You will be missed. The Juliuses (Rudy, Rudi and Colleen)"

"To Erica, I love you and miss you- you'll alwys be in my heart ! Diane From the dawn of your birth To the sunset of your death I honor you. From the missions you completed To your duties left undone I honor you. From the seasons of your being Through the cycle of your life I honor you. From your time beyond the veil Lie your entrance back again May the angels support you May my healing love reach you From this moment until the end of time So Mote It Be. -- Silver RavenWolf"

"To the Family of Erica Nicole Baker, Our most sincere sympathies from the City of Hollywood Police Department Personnel Unit."

"�??�?úThis Land Is Temporary�??�?ù Dedicated to Erica N. Baker I was my mommy�??�?ôs princess who grew up to be a Queen. I had many friends and a great family. At the end of everyday I stood in this temporary land creating a dream of my King coming for me. I would imagine a great big wedding for all my friends to see, beautiful children, and a beautiful home. Alone here I stood in this temporary land with only a dream. I had lots of wonderful children, but at the end of the day they were all claimed for, for they weren�??�?ôt really mine you see in this land that we all live and dream. This land is only temporary. Everyday went by and I would dream. Although life had a purpose and I fulfilled my purpose to make little children�??�?ôs faces smile and feel happy, help those in need, give hope to parents, be a great friend, be mommy�??�?ôs little princess, and a wonderful big sister. In my heart I knew I wasn�??�?ôt perfect, but I always felt like a Queen waiting for her King. One night I drifted into a great deep sleep, if you can all only see I was dressed as a Queen prepared to meet her King. I flew into the night where I would live forever with no pain or dreadful feelings of being alone in the temporary land where I use to dream. This land where I now stand is not temporary or filled with dreams. If you can all just see this is where we all will meet as we awaited for the day before the King and live forever in peace. Written By: Lea Luz Soto My kids, Gabriel, and I love you very much. We miss you dearly, but we know you are in a better place."

"I said a prayer for you today and know God must have heard; I felt the answer in my heart Although He spoke not a word. I didn't ask for wealth or fame I knew you wouldn't mind; I asked for priceless treasures rare Of a more lasting kind. I prayed that He'd be near to you Now that you've gone away; To grant you all of His blessings And His light to show your way. I asked for happiness for you In all things great and small; But that you'd know His loving care I prayed for most of all. We will miss you Erica! Love Kia & Ty"
