Sally, Ned, Cindy,
We will miss our dear friend & relative. He became a very precious part of our "Texas Family". He always referred to us as his "Texas Girls". But I know he lived a long full life and is heaven reuniting with all those who have gone before. We send flowers but I am not sure if they got there. Addie & Dolly Williams, Carolyn Pratt & Husband, Marilyn King, Henrietta Oakley & Husband, Byron Williams & Wife.

Uncle Ernest was such a kind and interesting man. I wish I would have visited more so that my children could have known him and learned some valuable lessons from him.
I'm sorry for your loss. Love, Melinda Clements Reier
