My deepest sympathies to the Ernsberger family I am so sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the God who "binds up the brokehearted" and "comforts all who mourn", Isaiah 61:1,2.

It was always a joy to spend time with Bob at Sally's YMCA. Our conversations about the Church and the Y were enlightening and fun. He held strong beliefs in our Lord. His burial space at Forest Lawn is just down the hill from ours, and is quite unique in its shape and position in the cemetery. May the blessings of Christ be with Sara and all his family.
