So sorry to learn of Ernie's passing. Dot, he always told me how blessed he was to have you for his wife. His phone calls to me were special and I will miss hearing the Southern twang from this Northern boy! I am his Aunt Floma's daughter. God Bless you and the whole family.

Aunt Dot,Iam the youngest daughter of uncle Ernie's brother. I have meant you both a crew times when you came to visit my Dad. My heart goes out to you and the family. I was hoping we could have all seen each other one more time before my dad died, but it was not in God's plan. God bless you all and will be praying for you. Until we all meet again. Love Kathy Ann Colby Corriveau.
