Not sure what to say?

My heart goes out to June and the family. I have known Ernie since elementry school and what a good time we had. He worked so hard getting the reunions together and what fun they were. I appreciate all he did during our school years. He was a wonderful man and will be greatly missed.

Brian, So sorry to hear of your loss. Earnest leaves behind a wonderful family he can look down on and be proud of everyday. Knowing you and your family I can see you have all the qualities your dad had to pass on to your children. I love you guys and miss you.
