Of all the peoples lives that you may an impact on. I can honestly say that I would not be the fearless woman I am had I never met you. Adrian, my best friend, my brother, my sister, my Drag Mom! We had been apart for some years and we I finally found away to reach you I was too late by almost a year to the day. The pain in my heart has never healed from not being able to say goodbye. I hope you knew what you did for me. How you taught me to be fearless, to speak my mind and my truth. You taught me to stand tall and stand out and to never be afraid of who I am or give in to who others think I should be. There's so many things I could say about you I knew more about you than many we had conversations that I'll probably take to the grave. Good, bad and indifferent. I just hope you knew how much I loved you. The Klyne Family Dynasty will forever be one of the best parts of ne. Forever and Always Your Drag daughter

Adrian Kline is a name that is permanently written on the foundation of our community in Sacramento. That foundation is as strong as it is because of the tireless hours she volunteered, the smiles she left on our faces, and the warmth she left in our hearts. This is what we will all remember when Adrian's/Ernest's name is spoken throughout our community for years to come. Much love and peace.

My warmest and deepest thanks to all that have commented. It is truly wonderful to read all the great and wonderful times you all have had with my brother. I truly am overwelmed with happy thoughts reading all these words. It's so wonderful that he touched each and everyone of you as he did his family. I always knew everyone he met was a gift to him, but know know he made everyone he met a part of his family. Thank you again for your kind words and please keep them coming. God Bless my little brother who is smiling from the heavens knowing all the lives he touched through his gift of life.

Ernie was one of my best friends through cosmetology school and my Jr. year in high school. Him and I had many good times. I only learned of his death recently as I was trying to reconnect with my old friend. I never really knew him as Adrian, but I will never forget my friend.

Ernie, you were one of the funniest and most honest people I have ever met. You could always turn the most mundane event into something fun. You always made me laugh, and for that I will be forever grateful. You should have had more time. I know those who knew you well will have a lot of memories of you - you will never be forgotten. I'll miss you.

I remember the first time I met Adrian(aka Ernie) out side of the club. I remember the stories Bianca had said about this rhaspy voiced character. Who knew then we'd share so many fun and crazy times ahead. I will never forget those times we had scarfing down food in between laughing so hard at the buffets or inbetween shows. I will truly miss you.
