She says her decision to strut her stuff to his open casket is exactly how Vernest would’ve wanted to be sent off … and she says those in attendance were on board with it too.
Erica says she still gets emotional thinking about the loss of Vernest, saying she was with him in some of his final moments, and admits her nerves got the best of her before making her mark at his viewing.
As we reported, some were confused by Erica’s choice at Vernest’s ceremony, but others loved the idea. Erica says it was all the more special because she wore one of Vernest’s designs.
