Aunt Erika was simply the best. My Mother was her oldest sister, Irma, and I can't remember a time without Erika.
Some things I loved: She hated to cook, but loved looking at cookbooks and recipes. She sent me the best recipes, and I had fun making things for her. Recreating her favorite "Morning Glory Muffins", making her brownies and biscotti.
She loved finding new restaurants that were good ones, chocolate martinis, shopping, and going on vacations with Wesley over the years. From diamond hunting in Arkansas, to the beaches of Gulf Shores (always bringing me a bag of salt water taffy), they had so much fun.
Aunt Erika had a special place in her heart for my daughter Angela, and my better half, Norman. We are all bereft and will miss her terribly. I know if I told her that, though, she'd say, "Don't feel bad. It's ok."
