About Me:
Hello, my name is Kerry (Haughey) Horner. I grew up in the Carnation/Duvall area. I am a mother of 4 great kids. Rob-17, Jaycee-13, Kailey-11 and Justin-8. I am a community manager for Elderly/Disabled apartment complex. I have the greatest fiancee, Tim, if not for him I do not think I could have made it through the last six months.
Tell a little about the person lost...
Erica Jean Mantle Anderson. We met in 7th grade at Tolt Jr/Sr High school. It did not take long for us to become inseperable.
She was killed Christmas eve 2007, along with her husband Scott, her children Olivia 5 and Nathan 3 and Scott's parent, Judy and Wayne.
Scott's sister and her boyfriend are curently being charged (they have confessed) with their murders.
Not a day goes by that I do not think about Erica. A song, a movie, even a familiar laugh can snap me into some random thought or memory of my best friend. Erica was more than a best friend to me, she was the sister I always wanted and never had. She was the first phone call of the day even after 20 years.
The last few years I was lucky to live within a few miles of Erica and I am so thankful I was blessed with being so close to her before she was taken from us.
With every day that passes I pray the pain and loss will subside, I find comfort in the wonderful memories I selfishly call my own, yet am tortured that there will be no more.
How did you find My Loving Tribute?
Erica's mom, Pam.

Poem to Erica

shock is wearing off, reality setting in,
searching for the strength, to bid fair well my dearest friend,
I swamp my self with tasks, mundane to say the least,
trying to find a way, to push away the grief,
as I lay awake at night, searching for some reprieve,
my thoughts of you and yours continue, memories haunt me in my sleep,
how I wish to tell you, what it was you meant to me,
never in my wildest dreams, could I fathom you away,
a life as yours so precious, how I want for one more day,
the ti… Continue

Kerry, I am grateful that you are in my life! I don't know what I would ever do these days without you. I am glad that Erica had a wonderful friend like you. I hope that we will always be in touch. Take care of those Kiddos of yours and wonderful Tim. Erica always thought he was "the One". He is a fine Man, Love Pam

Hi Kerry, I also have a tattoo (slightly smaller than yours) on my ankle with my son's name in. I can feel your pain. I've got a friend that are so very precious to me to. I had to move rather far away from them, but we are in daily contact. She has been far more than a friend or even a sister. Think you can say the best friend combined with the best sister you can imagine. Guess that's how you felt about Erica too? Praying for you!

Hello There:

Welcome to the Healing Community.

"I am so very sorry for your loss." No matter how heartfelt they are intended. those words can feel trite or cliché... that is the problem with expressing sympathy with just words...they do not seem like they would be enough. We mean the best....but those words don't seem to be enough.

That is why I wanted to create this site. I think that over time....with words, prayers, photos, video, and heartfelt emotions....we can all express what we truly feel to each other....

We want to share that life is precious, that time goes too fast, and that we don't feel like we have nearly enough time to be with those we love. And when one of those people leave this world.... we wonder just how can we possibly get along with out them?

It is my prayer that not only can we find a way to remember those lost....but that, in their honor, we can find a way to keep making life precious.

This is your site. Feel free to explore at your own pace.... and contribute thoughts, prayers, photos, music and videos as you feel is best.

I am here to help you in any way possible. If you have any questions at all...please let me know.

Eric
