Remembering you when flowers bloom early in the spring.Remembering you on the sunny days in the fun that summer brings. Remembering you in the fall as we walk through the leaves of gold, and in wintertime -Remembering you in the stories that are told. But most of all remembering each day-right from the start,I will be forever near, for you live in our hearts. Me and Stephanie miss you and love you very much. Love you . Ernie and Stephanie
