Ernest Graffius

Dearest Carolyn, I was so very, very saddened to hear of Ernie's passing. My heart breaks for you. May God help you to find the strength. Please accept our most heartfelt condolences and will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Ernie was so very special to me and indeed gave the very best bear hugs ever, hands down. God Bless you and your family in the coming difficult days ahead.

Love you bunches,

Dad I will miss you so very much when I married Scott I was so Blessed you welcomed me into the family you always made me feel like I was your own Daughter and I felt like you was my Dad.I will miss your hugs there was none like yours! I will always carry you in my heart forever I Love You Dad Always and Forever!

Dad,
It is impossible to list the many blessings and memories you have left me with. I know you are in heaven and I will truly think of you everyday just as I have over the years. The difference being that I will no longer hear your voice, read your emails or or see you during our visits. While my unprompted smile may be seen by mortals here it is because I know somewhere in heaven you have given someone another HUG!
Love, Son
