Erica Dione Barnard Memorial Fund

Today, Monday, June 1, 2020 at approximately 1:30p we lost a beautiful soul. Erica was admitted to the hospital March 27, 2020 and diagnosed with liver & kidney failure. With this sudden illness and because of her young age of 37 and being unable to work Erica does not have any after life benefits available to her. All funds raised will help with Erica's cremation, memorial service and headstone. Rather than send flowers, please consider a donation.

Erica's family and friends are devastated to lose her just two short months after the diagnosis, most of which she spent in the hospital fighting for her life - during this pandemic when visitors were not allowed until she was "actively dying." Your prayers, love & support during this difficult time have lifted us up. It is difficult to ask and any amount will help. 

We wish to thank the doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals and staff at East Bank Hospital - M Health Fairview University of Minnesota Medical Center. They were amazing & treated Erica and us with  compassion, kindness & respect at every turn.

Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts to everyone. This too, shall pass.
