Earnie I am going to miss you, but I know I will see you again! May Christ who called you lead you home into paradise. You are such a wonderful person to talk to. I remember you always had the answer to every question. I will see you in heaven Earnie, but until then may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
Love,
Tyler
