To the Sutcliffe and Nelson families, we sign this book with the deepest of sympathy. Uncle Ernie was a wonderful, spirit led Christian, and we both know that today he resides in Heaven with our maker. He has touched a lot of lives in his time, and through those very lives, will continue to work for God's glory. We'd love to be there, but at this time we are unable to get out of Georgia. Please accept our condolances. Ray & Kathy Lancia
