Dear Gratton Families,
Ernest was a best friend of my
Dad's (Frank Montagne). I guess best friends are always best friends no matter how life takes you in different directions. Ernest recently had visited Dad. They shared a shot of Ginger Brandy, and reminisced as far back as grade school...and they laughed and laughed and laughed...are you surprised! We celebrate what a great guy he was to you all and his friends. Our thoughts and prayers are sincerely with you. Love, Sam &...
