    Prima te acompaño en tu dolor. Dios nuestro señor te dio la dicha de tener a tu niño y darle tu amor por 21 años. Ahora el mismo lo ha llamado a su lado. Se que será difícil de superar esta pérdida pero espero Dios nuestro Señor que es tan poderoso te de la fortaleza que necesitas. Recuerda que tienes dos angelitos más a tu lado. Norma.

    The Thomas-Vaughn Family lit a candle and writes,
    Thank you for being such a wonderful friend to my son. Even after you graduated high school, you still answered Isaiah's calls and would FaceTime with him. You always encouraged him to get out more and to try new activities at school. I remember running into you at the gas station, & we talked for about 30 minutes. You were headed to Champs and we were headed to the mall to buy a gift. I remember you laughing and saying you would see us there. Which is exactly what happened. Your mentoring didn't end after you left Mount Pleasant, and we're going to miss you. My heart and prayers go out to your mother and everyone in your family. From the Thomas-Vaughn's

    I went to high school with Erick and even though I didn’t know him that well he was always a great person to be around. He positively affected everybody around him and was just a great spirited person. I’m sad your gone but you definitely made an impact while you were here, I’m praying for you and your family. Rest In Peace Chow🙏🏾
