Kathy & family:
There is never a good time to say good bye to mom or dad. The sudden realization when both are gone leaves a gaping hole that will take time to fill with stories and fond memories with family and friendship support. You have all those things and more when you take the time to look around you. Please try to enjoy these few days with your family in spite of the terrible sorrow with the loss of your dad. We'll miss them forever but will alway know how proud we are and will always be because they were here. Give everyone a hug for me (Joe).

I only knew Ernie from his few years living at The Village @ Waterman Lake. He told me one time that he loved his family very much but that when they were not around, we, the staff, at the Village were his new family. He was always so kind and good to all of his. He will be sorley missed. My deepest sympathies to all his family.
