My thoughts and prayers are with you, Sandy and your family. I was so glad to have been able to correspond with Ernie for the last year or so and to have seen him at the family reunion in September. He was very good to my mom by calling her and keeping in touch with her and I will always be thankful to him for that. May God watch over you all and help you through this difficult time. Ernie's cousin, Sheila

Sandy, We are so sorry we were unavailable to come to Ernie's memorial service. Rory is so glad you came in to tell him the news before we left. He was very upset of learning of Ernie's passing, but wouldn't have wanted to find out any other way. Know that you and all of your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Please keep in touch.
