FAMILY... I AM VERY SORRY TO HEAR OF ERNIE'S PASSING. I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER ERNIE AS A FELLOW SHAKER AND A GOOD MAN. MEMORIES OF THE HIGH SCHOOL DAYS, FOOTBALL, FRIENDS AND THE GOOD TIMES. TIMES THAT WE THOUGHT WERE HARD. ERNIE WAS JUST SPEAKING WITH ME A FEW WEEKS AGO ABOUT WHAT THE LORD WAS DOING IN HIS LIFE AND ABOUT THE PLANS FOR THE LOCAL YOUTH IN HIS CHURCH AND TOWN. WE CAN NEVER UNDERSTATND WHY THINGS LIKE THIS HAPPEN, ALL WE CAN DO IS REMEMBER THAT GOD IS IN CONTROLL AND ERNIE IS AT PEACE WITH HIM NOW.
