Some of my fondest memories from my childhood are all the times Erica would babysit us. I always thought she was the coolest, prettiest girl I knew..I hadn't seen her for years-until my Grandma Clara's funeral. I am so glad that we had that little bit of time together.. My heart goes out to all who loved her. May God keep her safe in his loving embrace until you see her again...

I am very sorry to hear about Erica Bartletti-She was a Great Lady and Will Be Missed-My condolences go out to Her Family-David Smith in Springfield, Il.

When I first meet all of the Bartletti's it was at Bob and Erica's home. From that day forward she was so kind to me and made me feel so welcome. As the years have passed, she has always remained the same to me. Erica was so good to Grandpa after Jennie died that I am sure she made him feel life was worth living. Erica was larger than life - loved with all her heart and lived everyday like it may be her last. Although I have not seen her as much, I still know her heart never changed. It will sure be a different world without her.When the iris' she gave me bloom I will know she is thinking of us all. With greatest sympathy and heavy hearts - Uncle Joe and Aunt Virginia.

I will always have a special place in my heart for you Erica, you were not only a good friend to me but you were like a mother as well. I give all of Erica's family my condolences.

Robbie,Rhett,Elisha and Sue, We can all be at peace knowing she is in a better place now and no longer in pain. We will all miss her so very much. She was the strongest person I have ever known and my best friend. My family will cherish the memories and she will never be forgotten. "We love you Erica"

I'll never forget all the fun times I had with Erica at her house when family and friends would get together on sunday to have cook outs! Everyone would bring a dish of something to eat and would all have a great time eating and swimming,listening to music,talking to everyone that was there. She always loved to be around people and boy could she talk on the phone,. When I would answer her phone the person would start talking to me because Erica and I both had deep voices, I'ld have to tell them this is MJ I think you want Erica.She will be deeply missed and I'm glad we became friends and spent time with her at concerts, her house and wherever it might have been. I LOVE AND WILL MISS YOU. YOUR FRIEND MJ VICARI!

we will miss ya Erica you are and always will be a great friend and person...

Robbie, Rhett, Elisha, and Sue, I am so very, very sorry for your loss! I have so many wonderful memories working with Erica when she ran BY Printing and spent many a weekend and week night at your home when you kids were growing up. Sue, I remember fondly the times that I came over to your house and met you and visited with you. I am just shocked at this loss. We know she is in a much better place and Heaven is now her home but it is NEVER easy to let them go. She will always be in your hearts and minds and will now be your Guardian Angel. Erica had a special love and zeal for life and she was a true friend! You are all in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. May God Hold each of you in the Palm of His Hand and Give You His Peace!

I met Erica when she started going to my school in 7th or 8th grade, and we became best friends almost immediately. She was the kind of person who just drew you in and made you want to be around her. For the next few years we practically lived at each others' houses. I loved being at her house, always so full of people. The people we meet in our lives sometimes help shape us into the people we become, and she certainly had a huge influence in my life. I will always remember her smile, the way her nose crinkled up when she laughed, all the fun we had together, the concerts we went to, working at the fair together for Tafts, the way she could talk...and talk and talk! My mom used to say "that girl talks more than I do" which is quite a feat! Even though we had grown apart after I moved to California, I will miss her being in the world. Erica, you were an awesome friend and I love you.

Erica, You were a bright light in this dim world for a lot of people. Your beautiful smile and infectious laugh won't soon be forgotten. Thank you, Erica, for loving me, for being my friend, and for sharing your incredible family with me. I'll love you always.

Robbie, Rhett, Elisha, and Sue, You know how very sorry I am for the loss of your mother, Sue your daughter and my best friend. She loved all of us very much. Erica was definitely a one of a kind girl. I guess God had a different plan for her, but she now has the company of her dad and brother. We were best friends for almost 40 years and she will truly be missed. Rest in Peace Erica. I love you.

Our heartfelt sympathies to all - We will remember you in our prayers. Rest in peace, Erica.

Aunt Erica was a vibrant and vivacious woman who truly lit up the lives of those she cared for. I will always remember her as a beautiful, unique and thoughtful person with her on colorful outlook on life. Robbie, Rhett and Elisha, my deepest sympathy goes out to you all.
