Not sure what to say?

When I was 13, Dr Reiger preformed a miracle life saving surgery on me, and I have admired him ever since he was the most caring and compassionate person I ever met, we encountered each other when I was in my 30s, a meeting so to speak; I'm 70 yrs now and I've never forgotten him, he is with the Lord now still performing his miracles

I'd hard to believe that Ernie is gone. He was such a light and inspiration in this world, the remarkable optimistic person I have ever met, never once complained about being trapped in his body, not being able to continue his career, so he decided to master new subjects areas instead -- Hebrew and the Bible, which brought him into close friendship with my Dad. One that was a marvel to behold, just as Ernie was and always will be

Karin and family,

You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers, may you be comforted by your faith and belief in a heaven with no more pain and sickness, and in the everlasting life and love of our heavenly father.
