Ernie, I'll miss our fellowship at the Waffle House, your humor and Bible Trivia there will be missed. You made us laugh. You will be sadly missed. I'll see you on the other side.

Becky, I love my precious memories of your Dad baptizing us in Nebletts Mill Pond. Your Dad and Bill Clark were two big men in that pond and I felt so safe and blessed that day. Also, I remember your family and all the support when Donna past.

We were so sorry to hear about Ernie. We enjoyed working with Ernie at Hanover as he did the Lord’s work in King Goerge. He was always there for our family. We appreciate and love you all.

God tells us in John 14:27 “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”

During this difficult time, may the comfort of God’s loving arms carry you through the quiet moments, and bring you peace.

With Deepest Sympathy
