    Ernest was a good, kind man whom I was lucky enough to have as a brother-in-law. He had a great sense of humor and he enjoyed being around people. Our family will miss him terribly but we have many good memories of fun times with him.

    Joyce, Dawn, Amy and family, We are so very sorry to hear of Ernest passing, but thankful that he is now pain free. He had a beautiful heart and soul and we enjoyed any time we got to just talk and laugh with him, because he kept us in stitches. We pray God will be with you and grant you peace during this difficult time and always. If we can do anything please let us know. God Bless.

    Hey Dad, just wanted to say that we miss you and hope that you are ok!?? We didn't want to let you go, but you had suffered and held on so long to stay here with Mom and us; we cared for you better than anyone else could have and would do it all over again! We will be ok as you are still here with us. Remember that you "PROMISED TO VISIT US EACH DAY!" We love and miss you!!
