What others are saying
- :-(I will miss you Erika. I might not have known you a lot, but I knew your brother and how upset and disappointed when he heard the dreadful news. Almost the whole state of Florida were filled with tears when they heard the news. I just wanted you to know that I heard wonderful things about you Chula. Everybody cried after your death. Your sister-in-law was sobbing as well as your niece, Genesis. I also cried even though I only met you once.But what touched my heart was that not only did your family cry, but your fans and people your family haven't met before. I will miss you and so will everybody else, I promise.
LOVE,
Carmen Andrea - Erika touched the Hearts of ManyErika, you will truly be loved missed and never forgotten!!!!! You touched a lot of hearts even those you've never met.

May God bless all that mourn her and know that she is in the arms of our heavenly FATHER in heaven above. She will trully be missed by all of those she knew. Although I never personally met her, her personality was soo big that she was like family on the radio just making me laugh every single morning. She was a trip! She will sincerely be missed.

She will be missed.. Gone but not forgotten..

careful and secure items when driving.. I'm sorry but
this accident could have been avoided... God Bless you girl!

I work at Disney as an Animation Artist and Erika's voice would carry me into work EVERY morning to the Disney Hollywood Studios. It was like Erika was sitting beside me in the passenger seat! Erika's VOICE was the TRUTH; a home girl; a friend, a sister; someone who wasn't fake! Erika's VOICE was the TRUTH!!!

- ErikaaaI never knew you in person but I know you touched the lives of many with the amazing job of morning host that you always did!
God Bless. - Passing of Erika RomanI did not know Erika personally, but her voice was so distinctive and it got you going in the morning. Her voice helped me get through my internship at Disney World, when I was in the Orlando area. I would get up in the morning and listen in on the morning show to find out the latest news. I am now back home in Michigan and one of my friends just told me about her passing and I want to let the family know that everything is going to be alright and that this is just part of God's plan. You will see her on the other side. Remeber to keep your heads up and keep each other encouraged. God Bless.

- My heart go out to youErika, though I didn't know you, I heard nothing but great things of you. You have had an impact on many. But you are in a better place.
- Erica Roman You Are MissedErika though you are in a better place, it hurts to know that a wonderful and kind harded person has been taken to soon, You have made your mark here in this world, but I feel cheated as I'm sure many do, but at least you were here long enough for me to have the opportunity to meet you and to say Thank you for being there when I went through my tough time. You are missed and will always be a part of my heart, I will keep you alive by the memories of you. Mornings will never be the same without your voice on the radio station. My condolences go out to your family.
- In loving memory of The lovely Ms. Erica RomanWhen I come to the end of the day,
And the sun has set for me.
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room.
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little, but not too long,
And not with you head bowed low.
Remember the love we once shared---
Miss me, but let me go.
For this is a journey we all must take,
And each must go alone.
It's all part of the maker's plan,
A step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick at heart
Go to the friends we know.
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds...
Miss me, but let me go. - Erika You Were Amazing!!!Erika we all know you are resting in a much better place, but our mornings won't be the same without you. Whether it was Monday morning blues, rush hour traffic, going to work with a hangover, or just a bad day you always had a way of making it bright. I along with the rest of Orlando was and still am in complete shock of this devastating news. However, I find peace in knowing that a precious soul like yours is resting high in the clouds and shining down upon us. My thoughts and prayers are with your family and the Power 95.3 family. Rest In Peace Erika Roman!
- JUST AS SIMPLE AS THIS...ERIKA ...WE LOVE YOU GIRL!!!!!!!!
- I have left a previous comment, but I just have to post something agaian!
Erika mama may you rest in peace !
To the rest of the staff at 95.3, my thoughts go out to you all ! It's not easy working on the show as if it were another day, and have to keep it all together! I noticed that the station takes alot of commercial breaks lately..... and I can only imagine the tears that you cry in that little break time. My thiughts and prayers are with you,as well as Erika's family and friends ! I'm a Pediatric ICU nurse, and know that an unexpected loss of a beautiful person is not a easy one to handle... but may you find peace in knowing that Erika is in a better place where she feels no pain, but rather happiness ! Never doubt that she is close by watching us, and laughing as we continue on our journey called "life". God bless us all ! - We'll miss youI will miss seeing you at Club Tabu hosting the freestyle concerts! R.I.P. Erika. We know you're in a better place.
- You will always live onI don't even know where to even begin, God most of needed a strong warrior in the front line of heaven. Erika was truly an amazing person, she always had a smile on her face even if things were wrong, she used to say smile even if things are bad, the world don't need to know. Erika was a survivor and she manage to not be a statistic, she didn't end up in jail, knocked up or became a drug addict thru her hard childhood life. I remember her mentioning her struggles and all the negativity people say and expected from her life. The thought she will not make it, but she proved them all wrong. She came from nothing and thought she was nobody, but she was wrong, she strives to reach every goal she set out for herself. No one could break her spirit and until now no one can't, she still lives on, shinning brighter then ever. She always wanted to make a difference in so many ways and was always afraid not to be remember or not to be recognize for the person she was, for the woman she was. Erika, Ms. Sunshine you were more then a good person, all of your insecurity and all of your doubts about yourself aren't true, like I've always said to you. You knew you were worth more then what you thought, now you can see all of your hard work paid off, all of your love is return 100 x.. you were truly a blessing, keep doing what you have been doing, keep teaching those lessons you taught all of us while on earth, from the beautiful blue sky above. Baby girl we are listening, we will always be listening. You will never be forgotten Chula, we are very proud of you and all the good you did in this world you are truly a legend.
RIP Chula
Que Dios Te Bendiga. - Que Dios Te Bendiga ChulaI only pray that you knew how very much you touched lives and what an inspiration you were while you were here. You were so loved because you truly were "OUR CHULA"
God needed a Chula in heaven and what can I say, God wanted the best.
Love and Peace and may God bless your family. - RIP ErikAPower 95.3 won't be the same in the morning without you! It's sad to loose such a beautiful soul, but as we all know God has a better plan for you!
We all miss you! RIP - saying good byHey everyone. I did not know erika personaly buy I always heard her on the raido everyday and when i herd about what happend to her it was devistating and I know that the power family will get through this big tragety.
R.I.P Erika Roman God Bless to all - Rest In Peace ChulaErika, you will truly be missed... I changed all my radio's to hear "the new power 95.3, fix ya face, with the Obie, Lil Shawn and Erika morning show!!"
Rest in peace orlando's favorite Chula... - THANK YOU, ERIKA!!My name is Christine Rios-Santiago. I am Big Pun's sister and a dedicated listener to 95.3. I live here in the Orlando area and I am deeply saddened by Erika's passing. She was definately a beautiful person inside and out and will be missed desperately by everyone. On behalf of my family I would like to offer our condolences and our prayers to everyone at the station and especially to her family. I always appreciated it when she played my brother's songs and gave him rememberance over the air to keep his music and memory alive.... I will do the same for her always. Erika was an angel on Earth and will continue to bless us with her memory from Heaven. God Bless you, Erika.....
I'll never forget you... Christine Rios-Santiago - You will be missedEvery morning on my way to work, I know that I could count on a laugh. Erika's voice had this certain attraction to it that just makes you want to listen to her. She was funny, sweet and beautiful. Although, I did not know her personally I am still so sad about the loss. My heart goes out to her family and friends. I know she is in a better place and I will not forget her.

Rest well Erika, we will see you again one day! - Erika, Im in shock, So tragicI met Erika after I won tickets to see Baby Bas @ the HOB over a year ago. Met up with her again at a Planet Smoothie Grand Opening in Saint Cloud, talked to her off & on on myspace & ran in to her not to long ago at the Blue Martini where she was crackin' up on me cause I had NKOTB (thier faces) on my nails! She was telling me about the Donnie interview I missed, we would have the funniest conversations about them, She would just laugh! She was so sweet, beautiful smile, kind heart... You will be greatly missed! My heart goes out to her family & friends!
- tought to have a great lossi have loss many over the years. i really didnt know much about erika, but i have heard her over the radio here and there. Being that i myself have loss the greatest of my life my mom. i was choked up to hear about erika. may she rest in peace and sounds like she left a WONDERFUL legacy behind. sorry for your loss. i know she will be missed. i feel it. but she is dancing in the heavens with the lord she is wearing but the only crown for all that she has done down on earth.
- Erika RowmanYou've touched my life in such a special way, eventhough i haven't met you. Your voice had a piercing that had such energy and good vibes. I have always heard that God takes the good people to teach to be good because he wants us to be aware that not only bad and the sick die. I wish I was able to tell you that you had this impact on me before you died but as I type this one thing is for sure that one day I too will die one day no one knows the minute or the hour. I pray to god that your family and think of the impact you had on others and not lament on the fact that your not here. Your voice will live on in our ears.
- EdikeytaWow it's been 3 days already since you have been gone and I still cant believe it. I know I didn't get to spend that much time with you but in that little time I was able to get inspired by you. Your charisma is one of a kind. You are truly unique and I was blessed to get to know you. You will be missed but just know you were able to bring happiness on many lives.

- Special spiritI have never had the privilege to meet erica but my 7 year old could not stop talking about her kindness. She's a huge fan and last year, she had the opportunity to meet erica at a promo at universal nissan.. Once they got there, though, my daughter would not get out of the car because she's very shy.. Her dad walked up and told the representatives of the station what had happened.. I believe before he even got to finish, Erica walked over to the car, opened the door, sat with my daughter and just started talking with her like she was an old friend, making her laugh and smile.. My daughter made it a point to come to my work immediately after just to tell me that Erica spent time with her.. The impression she made, I'm sure it's the same with alot of people she has come into contact with, is lasting and comforting.. Thank you Erica for making my daughter feel special. She'll remember it always, as will we. May God's warm embrace carry you home and may He be with you there at the station and with Erica's family during this tragic time.. My sincerest condolences
- erikarip chula.. u will be missed my condolenses go out to the power 95 staff and her family.. shes shining in heaven like she did on earth!! dios te bendiga mija..

And 23 years later.. here we are.. All I keep thinking about is our last conversation on Friday.. it was 11:30am and you said "Boobie- I am on my to see you! Get that wine ready!" I had the wine ready and I waited..... and waited... and waited... You never showed... This was not suppose to happen! We were suppose be drinking our wine and talking about life! You are truly my heart, my life, my sister, and my soulmate! No one will ever know you like I did- and that is what I am holding on to!

- We had an angel watching over us all along....My condolenses. Although i never met her in person but hearing her cute voice everyday on the radio made me feel as if i knew her. I just had to go to your site to look at her face and realize she really was and will always be an angel. Que dios te alumine el camino...
- R.I.P ErickaThere are no words. I am so sad!
- Rest in PeaceWell this is sooo shocking bc i used to wake up w u guys since i had u as the alarm to go to school but today it felt wrong.In the mornings it would give me energy for some reason but today i decided to take a day of dfrom school.Its not the same W/O the Chula.U will be truly missed n now we know there heaven has a DJ bc we knew they had voiced but theres a LATINA DJ.RIP
- My thoughts and Prayers are with you!!Erica was so much fun to listen to on the obie and little shawn morning show. I would listen to her every morning going to work. To her friends at the 95.3 station-I'm so sorry that this has happened. I will pray for all of you!!
- R.I.P ErikaThere are no words. I am so sad!
- You are a bright shining star!"You were an angel here on earth and now you shine bright from above my friend!"
I have never met a more positive person in my life. She was a role model for all women and had such grace. She had a way with all people, everyone she came in contact with is a better person because of her. She still had so much left to do here, so many people to help...now she is watching from above. Take the time to help someone that needs it, take time to show some love and take time to smile at someone for no reason. That's what she would do. She will be missed but take what you learned from her and incorperate it to your lives...I know I will. There are so many good things to say about our amazing "Chula" that words just won't convey! On behalf of Erika, GO MAGIC! I know she would be saying that if she were here. Keep her memory alive in all of her friend's, family and listener's (we were all her family)!!
So much love- - You have touched my childrens life!!My Kids and I listen to you every morning!!! and you will be truly missed... When my oldest son Anthony heard Sat morning this horrible news he was confused... As we just listen to your voice on the radio day before. We will miss you and I know you are in a better place. You have touched our hearts and many more. May the lord watch over you and rest in peace.... Julie and Kids
