Dear Marilyn and family
We are so saddened to hear of Ernies’s passing. We know he endured a long struggle and is a place of peace and surrounded by loved ones.
My memories of Ernie as a youth were fun times. He walked me to a one room school at Hadashville for a week in my Grade One. Auntie Ruth must have pulled him out of Grade 3 to look after me! We hand drilled post holes together for our Gi Gi at the farm in the clay on hot summer days.
The Point what a great family get together.
We all drift apart as our families grow as we expand and mature, but the basic family bonds still stay strong in our hearts. Will remember the times together.
Rest In Peace Ernie
Love Ron and Maria
