And I said, if you ever want to talk to Daddy, you just look up to sky and start talking to him. He can hear you.”

Fighting back tears, Erika wiped her eyes as she continued:

“And I told her, I said, you know Daddy is in heaven. She goes, 'You think I could go sometime?' I said, 'Baby, we will all go one day. We will all go one day.'”
