I will always be so grateful to have known this wonderful man. I called him 'Doctor Ernie' because he kept all of my cars alive and well way past their time. Under his care none of them actually got the chance to die, even though they were critical when I brought them to him; simply because of his mechanical talent. He always had a smile for me even when I knew that the last thing he wanted to see was me driving up with a sputtering car, and he never turned me away; even if it meant another late night. This was a man that could have charged top dollar and it would have still been a bargain; but he seemed to always know what I could afford. Unfortunately, years flew by without a visit. However, in that time he never left my heart and would always come up in conversations when the topic was on how lucky to have met certain people in our lives. He certainly was and will remain one of those special friends; along with being one of the kindest souls that has ever been on earth.

Antoinette, my heart is heavy and light at the same time. Sad because your other half had to leave and light because he is in Perfect Hands. You were one of my angels when my heart was hurting. The spiritual support you lovingly provided to me is a reminder of your special faith and kindness. I know God's plan is specific for you and has appointed special angels to help with this process. As for you Ernie, keep your eyes on us.
