We are so sorry for your loss. We are sorry that we are unable to attend the service for Ernie today. He was such a jolly person. He always had a smile on his face. We hired Ernie, Tom and Marty to do several construction jobs for us. They were always professional and trustworthy, yet down to earth. They were all hard workers. Ernie was always fair to us. We all loved Ernie and he will be sorely missed. May God send you comfort during this difficult time.
I am so sorry Cindy! I love you so much! I wish I could be there! Nick can’t walk and I am really sick with an ulcer! I love you so much! I am so glad you have Brianna and Brittany and your grandchildren! ! When I get better I will come and see all of you!love you! Pray for all of you!
Ernie was always available for a hearty handshake and a smile. He will be missed.
