Parents of 6 die in rip current while on first family vacation

A fundraising page was created to support the family, where Wayne Sallurday paid tribute to Erica, describing her as “simply an amazing person” who was a loving mother and a dedicated worker at her local elementary school, where she helped special needs children and worked in the library. Erica was also known for her active involvement in her church and was remembered as one of the kindest people you could meet. The GoFundMe campaign has raised over $60,000, showing the community’s generosity and solidarity in the wake of this tragic loss.
