Pearlene & Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time. I remember, the stories you and Ernie told us at last year's Beaver Run Pistol Banquet about your fishing trip and the also the trip to the hospital because of a little creature. We will always remember his presence and wit on the range while we are shooting.
