To the family of my friend, my 'angel', Sis Ernestine Faison, may God bless and keep you. We have lost a wonderful lady to our Lord. Now let us live so God will one day choose us to be with him and Sis Ernestine. Our world is a much better place with her having lived in it. We, at St.Thomas AME Zion Church, shall miss her smiling face, her always pleasantness and the wonderful way she has always served and with no complaints. Sleep on now my dear friend. We shall see you again.
