Get To Know Erin!

Erin grew up with 2 sisters, Amberly and Tisha. Amberly is 18 months younger than Erin and in school they were only a year apart. They were best friends and inseparable. Tisha was the older sibling; she was 8 years older than Erin. Tisha was like the second mom for Erin and Amberly. Tisha was bossy and liked to tell her younger sisters what to do. As the girls grew up and had children, the bond between them grew. Darlene the girls’ mother was the matriarch behind it all. Tisha, the oldest sibling, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2013. This traumatic period was difficult but the girls’ including their mom came together and supported one another. After the first round with cancer Tisha was in remission almost 5 years when it returned with vengeance. She fought the last 3 years of her life hoping to meet her first grandchild. This dream didn’t come true as she passed away on September 25th, 2020. The memories of Tisha will always be with her friends and family.

As a dedication to her sisters and mom, Erin wanted to name her new business after them. She came up with D’CATE and each letter represents one of the girls. D- is for Darlene, the mother that started it all. C- is for Cecilia, Erin’s daughter, and the only granddaughter. A- is for Amberly, Erin’s younger sister. T- is for Tisha, Erin’s older sister that passed away due to breast cancer. And last but not least is E- for Erin.
