I sure hope there is a way to be surrounded by what and whom we loved in life in the hereafter
I know that it is said that personal possessions aren’t supposed to have meaning after death but Ernie had a sharp eye for cars and bikes and I just hope he can still enjoy those memories.
It deeply saddens me to learn of his going Home. We last communicated January 18th. I became concerned when there was no communication from him in a week. I had desperately hoped when I began seeking out regarding his well being that this would not be where it would lead.
I will miss his sense of humor and bantering with him and Nelson Baldwin. I met Ernie via Nelson on Facebook. Nelson and I went to school together many moons ago.
Again, my condolences for your pain and sorrow at Ernie's departure.
