Dear Bev,

I was so sorry to hear of Ernie's passing, when I read his obituary I was so impressed with all he had accomplished!! The Ernie I knew and loved was the gardener. Just strolling through your garden was a beautiful experience. I'll always remember Ernie with love for his sense of humor, generosity of spirit, and beautiful personality. My prayers and sympathy to you and your family

In blessed repose grant eternal rest, O Lord, to Your departed servant Ernest; and render eternal his memory.

Bev,

"Perfect love is rare indeed - for to be a lover will require that you continually have the subtlety of the very wise, the flexibility of the child, the sensitivity of the artist, the understanding of the philosopher, the acceptance of the saint, the tolerance of the scholar and the fortitude of the certain." -Leo Buscaglia



Ernie was all of these and more, our deepest condolences to you and your beautiful family.

We will miss Ernie VERY much.
