One of the loveliest people I have ever known. I was blessed by Erica's generosity whenever I visited Merleswood. So much knowledge shared, and many plants freely given - the 'Felicity Fair' Rhododendron she gifted is blooming right now, and when I see it, I always think of her.

Thank you for sharing the video online. I watched it and appreciated being able to hear stories from Aunty E's life and loved ones. I have fond memories of time spent on the farm with Aunty Erica and Uncle Maurie. Sending love and comfort especially to Philippa, Jenny, Helen & Vicky.

Sending our sincere sympathy to you all on the passing of Erica. We have fond memories of the Jago family from Midhirst days. Judith & Matthew Schumacher

Sorry to hear of Erica's passing and not being able to attend the tangi. We did watch it online it was great to see the old photos from on the farm and hear the stories, you always learn new things about them at funerals. I really enjoyed my stays on the farm helping out, well at least it felt like I was helping out and the memories of the meals and breakfast after milking will stay with me forever. Moe mai rā Erica and uncle Mourie. All the the best to the girls and family.

Very sad to hear of the passing of your very special mum. Our sincerest condolences.

Erica was full of the joys of spring,zest and enthusiasm. She dearly loved Maurie and their girls partners and their grandchildren and many friends and extended family. Your beautiful garden you and Maurie created was your true passion which we all shared its beauty Rest in peace Erica xx Kevin and Liz O'Sullivan and family
