May God bless this family who showed so much love and dedication in taking cared of Ernest in his home through his final year on this earth. I am so glad I went see him before I came back to PA. One of Ernest's biggest goals was to have his home raised before the next storm. FEMA could not make that happen but the good Lord didn't let him down, the week before he passed the Lord lifted him to heaven and sent him back to tell about it. If you get to talk with one of his children ask them about this. I think when he asked to have his house lifted he wasn't expecting this kind of lift, Praise God. We will really miss not seeing him in the yard everyday. Terry I know you took him as another Dad and this will be hard for you but after what he said about that journey he took you can rest assure where he is now. Sorry we could not be there tonight but our thoughts and prays are with all of the family, God Bless.
