I will miss my cousin so very much. We were "dirt buddies" even though we grew up in two different cities. Our branches went in different directions but our roots were always family! I never knew I was older than her until her death. She always got to make the decisions when we were kids because she would say, "I'm the oldest". I just took her word for it. With her sense of humor...I bet she is laughing at me now. :-) Rest in peace my sweet angel.

My deepest sympathy to the family at this time. I was blessed to be a part of Ernestine's Class of 1972 at Linden-McKinley and it really saddens me when we lose one of our family. Praise Jehovah and know that while Ernestine is gone for a little while, she is still with us in our hearts. Also know, that we will all meet again.

I am saddened to hear of Ernie's passing. I worked with her at HNB many years ago. She was always so nice and helpful to me. There are not too many smiles and laughs like hers. Ernie was a wonderful woman. I admired her strength while raising her son (who was much younger then) She is resting in God's loving arms now. Family your are in my thoughts and Prayers. God Bless
