Having moved from Brantford I was unaware of Erika’s passing until now. I’m so very sorry for your loss. Erika was indeed a genuine, kind and good natured person. A truly lovely woman that so many will miss.

Gone too soon. We will always cherish the time we got to know Erika during her time in Ajijic, Mexico. What a double whammy with the family loosing Rick and Erika such a short time ago. Please know that you're all in our hearts. We'll keep the fond memories of both Rick and Erika.

Dearest Erika,

I loved running with you. You are an accomplished athlete not afraid of running 7-8K in February on the streets of Paris or Brantford at minus 20 C with the wind and snow blowing in your face. You will be forever be the greatest running-buddy.

The Brantford Expositor on May 5, 2013, published a picture and an article that both memorialized your running and demonstrated your love for helping (myriad) others. You were a gift to the world.

Our deepest condolences to the family of Erika another beautiful soul gone way too early.

Dear Kyle and Mrs. Melnyk,

I'm so deeply sorry. Losing Mr. Melnyk and now Erika is just devastating. I am praying for you at this truly sad time.

Today the world just seems a little less beautiful knowing that you are no longer here. Your light and spirit will live on in those who loved you. Your kind heart and thoughtfulness helped so many. With deepest sympathy

I worked with Erika and she was amazing at her job, she really cared about the people we work with! She will be greatly missed. Condolences to her friends and family.
