I love you. I always will. 6 long years without you my husband, my confidante, my best friend. Will see you in heaven where they will be no more sorrow and no more tears

June 10, 2020
why did you leave me. Its 4 years today and nothing has changed. I still miss you with the same intensity . Why Ern why. I love you so much and no one can take away the heartache. Luke talks about you almost every day. Sometimes he says Dada Ernie promised me all these things . He never lied so why then did he leave us Dado. I try to explain that Jesus needed you more and then he gets mad at God. Luke always asks me who do I love the most besides Dada Ernie and me. Ern I dont want to leave Lukee but I cant wait to see you either. At times the loneliness is unbearable. The kids are being good but I miss you terribly my best friend and the love of my life

They say Happy New Year and I smile and wish them the same but I don't think any year is going to be happy without you. Instead of getting up in the morning and thanking God for another day I say why Lord do I have to live this day and pretend all is OK. Ern I eat laugh and even enjoy life from time to time but nothing is like it was before. Ernu please ask your to give me peace and courage to face life. I cry everyday and nobody understands any more. They think it's time to move on. I just don't know how and I never will cause I loved you more than life itself. I miss you so much and every moment that we spent together. When will I see you again. How many years will I have to wait. I will always love you my best friend and my darling husband
August 15, 2019

One more year without my brother. Somedays it seems like just yesterday, other times it seems like so long ago. But every day I miss him.
June 10, 2019
Another year has passed and the dull persistent heartache is still there. 3 years my Ern and how many more will I have to live without you. I miss you every moment even when I am happy . I love you so much and my only consolation is that I will see you again in heaven. Love you my darling husband and my best friend

Mrs. Sohatra, I just heard and am very sorry of Ernie's passing. We worked together for 30 some years. He was a very good teacher, and friend. I'm sure he is being missed by all who knew him.

December 10, 2017

Kenneth Sohotra
November 11, 2017
It's another Saturday, 11th day of the month. So much is different without my brother, at the same time nothing is different when it comes to missing him and all our loved ones.
October 28, 2017
Ern I will be out of our home that we built together with so much love. You have no idea of what I am going through. You knew that I would have to do this but that doesn't bring me any consolation. I love you Ern
October 11, 2017
Another month today Ern. 16 months and I miss you day and night. I know that you are in a better place but I so want you by my side. I will always love you. I will love you till I die
September 11, 2017
It is fifteen months today and there is no reason to live and no reason to go on. Why Lord can't I just die and be with my Ma , papa my tiny brother Phil and of course you and my Savior. Why? You always had an answer before
September 7, 2017
I can't do this Ern. I can't. Show me a way out

July 10, 2017
I year and 1 month. Gets worse every day. Every day when I wake up I say to our Lord do I have to live another day without him. I know I cannot ever forget you and I don't want to. Call I ask my God to take that utter loneliness and intense pain away. He will one day meri Jaan
June 30, 2017
I cry several times a day. It is not getting better. Please pray for me Ern cause I have immense sorrow in my heart and no hope
June 12, 2017
Sir, a day, a week, a month, a year, or a decade won't make me miss you any less. Love you always, Life is so very different without you- your jokes, your laugh, your wisdom.
Kenneth Sohotra
June 11, 2017
One year and it really doesn't feel any better, just different. Trying to help everyone adjust, and myself to adjust. I miss all my family that has moved on. KSS.

June 4, 2017
It was my birthday . My first surprise birthday and the love of my life was there. But your family and my friends made it special. You would have proud of your kids who made it specia land your family who proved that i not alone. Thank You for our Savior Jesus that he died for our sins so that we could be again again. Can't wait to see Jesus , you and all my loved ones again. our sins so not there. that we can see his precious love and be together again. I love you Ern for making me so loved so beautiful and making me feel that I was the most important person. I love you meri Jaan and thank you for making me feel that I am only 61 years old
May 28, 2017
Hi meri Jaan, Luke turned 7 yesterday and last year we went to his birthday. That was the last time you left home. It was so painful for me to be there for Luke without you. Ern how am I going to go through life without. Seriously I can't take it any more. At least come visit me in my dreams honey
May 12, 2017
I know how you feel. It is unbearable and 11 months has made it harder on me not even a tiny bit better. I had almost given up on life but I am going to try at least one more time. For his sake and for God who wants us to live a little longer. Can't wait to join him in heaven.

First Kentucky Derby, without my brother here. One of the few times betting was interesting, thanks to his ingenious input. Sometimes it was the pedigree and sometimes it was a stable mate, such as a horse or a goat.
April 25, 2017
Going to Boston without you both sad and scared. Love you and miss you more every day
April 16, 2017
K Easter honey and I am so sick today and all I wanted was you

Kenneth Sohotra
April 11, 2017
It's been nine months since he left, will miss watching you eat Easter dinner with us, and telling us "I can eat this" but finishing it any way. KSS
April 7, 2017
It is April 7th Ern and it is our wedding anniversary but what do you care if I am alone and crying. You are in a better place and I am here all alone honey. Can't wait to join you. I love you
March 11, 2017
Another month meri Jaan and all those promises of getting old together. I know that you had no choice. I also know that God loved you so much that he answered your prayer of passing away in a quiet serene painless away. I also know that you are with our Savior and for that I thank the Lord. It is just the pain that doesn't get any better. I will always love you . You loved me till your last minute on earth and I too will love you till I die
Kenneth Sohotra
March 11, 2017
One more agonizing month, I think I miss my brother more now....
February 14, 2017
Valentine's Day meri Jaan and even though we never went crazy celebrating this day I miss you so much as you are not here with me today. I don't know how many valentines will go by before I can be with you so pray for me Ern . I love you
February 11, 2017
8 long months and the pain is still so sharp. People say that time is a great healer. I am convinced that time changes nothing. The pain never goes away . We just learn to tolerate it. I miss you so much Ern
February 11, 2017
One more more month, one more week, one more Saturday the eleventh. Missing my brother.
February 3, 2017
Hi Ern I don't even know what to write anymore . All I know is that I have to live. I have to live to die and see you. I can't wait for that day. Life is never going to be the same again. I thought that I was brave and being a strong Christian would help but it doesn't Ern. Nothing helps Ern. Life is sad depressing scary and so draining without you. May no one have to feel the heartache and utter despair that I go through every day. I love you so much
January 24, 2017
Yes guys my husband was the best. Everyday living is a struggle without him. Don't really want to live anymore
Anil, Thea & Neha Rawani
January 23, 2017
A sincere, honest, out spoken, frank conversationalist, person , human being & brother - in - law. One could agree to disagree, but we knew how he felt, and was honest in "saying it the way it is"- a value so cherished in meaningful relationships!
Regrettably said & acknowledged that his absence from our lives brought awareness to his gifted personality. Will always be cherished & remembered
We miss you Ernie!
January 22, 2017
I know Ken and I watched it just for him. He would have made it so much fun . Ken I miss him so much. It still hurts as much as it did 7 months ago. In fact it gets worse each day. I just want to feel normal again, not happy just not so scared and sad
January 21, 2017
Veena, he would have throughly enjoyed the day yesterday. He would have stayed up late into the night and watched it all. KSS
January 20, 2017
Back to our house. It is no longer a home. Ern I miss you so much. It hurts too much Ern. I am so incomplete without you. Once again I am scared and so lost
January 13, 2017
Everyone is here my immediate family and I still feel so alone. Even more alone
January 11, 2017
Another month, and it's painfully sinking in that it's real. KSS

Ernie is a GREAT guy, very caring, fun loving, sincere and warm person Who was always there for his friends. I'm glad I met him in 2002. Our friendship grew with the years I wish I had visited him and Veena before he left us, but I KNOW he is always with us. Miss him . Veena you are strong and must remember that he is always beside you, he loved you a lot and that should keep you going.
January 1, 2017
Christmas and New Year are surreal without my brother. Missed his winter coat gift, missed his new year "happy birthday Keno" call. Miss talking to him
Sohotra
December 31, 2016
A new year has started Ern and knowing that I will be alone in this 2017 leaves me with tears heartbreak scared and only God knows how lonely and alone. Ern you have to ask God to help me. When ever you said that how I will survive without you I used to say that I will be ok. I am not ok. I don't want to start 2017 without you. I just want to die. I went to church and even prayed that the good Lord would have mercy on me and take me to heaven so that I too could be with you and Jesus.
December 31, 2016
Father, I can't express in words or otherwise, how much I miss you. Hearing your voice, seeing your face, calling you. This holiday was just a void without you. I think of you everyday, I still yell "Sir!" everytime I go to your house, and I always hear your response in my mind-"Yes Sir!" You were always the first one to call me at 12:01am on New Years without fail. I love you so much.
December 11, 2016
It is now six months and the sadness of losing my brother is not any less.
December 2, 2016
Meri Jaan, I can't do this alone. You have to help me . Please help me Ern. I feel so unhappy and though I cling to Jesus it does not take the deep despair away. I can't cry any more. Help me Ern
November 24, 2016
I miss you Ern . No holiday will ever be the same. You were the very best
November 23, 2016
I am thankful for all you did for your siblings and your family. You were "there" when we needed you. KSS
November 22, 2016
Never thought that I would have to spend any holiday without you. All our plans come to nothing if God has another plan. I love you Ern and even though you will not be with me physically you will always be with me and I will always love you and be your wife
November 20, 2016
My darling husband, it's thanksgiving this week and even though we did not make a big fuss about it , we were together and we were almost so grateful for each other. I won't have you with me and that will be so painful. I thank God that you were a part of my life and angry that it was just not enough
November 11, 2016
Another month gone and no relief KSS
November 10, 2016
I know Ken. I miss him so much. For some reason it is getting harder for me. Time is making it worse. Could be the weather. The winters never depressed me cause I had him. Ern was the one who didn't like the winters. I am just so lonely without him.
November 10, 2016
Veena, he would have bought all the men in the family Trump ties for Christmas. KSS
November 9, 2016
Ern, Trump won and I watched every bit of the election cause I knew that you would want me too. We would have hugging each other and screaming and shouting and been so happy. I love you my darling very very much
November 3, 2016
Why can't I talk to you.it is crazy cause I talk to myself all day and then just cry and cry. When will this get any easier.you always had the answers. Give me a answer Ern. I am so lost without you
November 2, 2016
Ern I love you and I miss you terribly. Why did you leave me. Why Ern? Everyone says that I am doing Ok and I think I am in the sense that I still eat sleep and laugh but Ern at times it hurts so much that I just want to scream .
October 23, 2016
Another family event and we will miss you. Time really doesn't heal anything, just makes you regret lost opportunities.
October 23, 2016
Ern it is the first time I attended a function without you. Ern it was so hard. I would start crying in the midst of everyone . The tears would not not stop and it was embarrassing but I could not help it. . I don't think I am ready to go out on a function yet. Will I ever be able to meri Jaan.
October 21, 2016
My dearest Ernie, It was a pleasure to share this journey for awhile. You taught me so much. I thank you for that. You will a always have a special place in my heart. My thoughts and prayers go out to your wonderful family.
October 17, 2016
Ern I can't live without. You gave me everything that I wanted and then some more. I miss you terribly and can't to join you in heaven. I love you so much.
October 16, 2016
Love and Miss You.Enjoy that beautiful home you are in>Tell others see you soon.

Veena, I stopped at the bike shop the other day. One of Ernie's old co-workers works there. He asked how Ernie was doing. He was in shock when I told, even the other workers were saddened by the new, as if they knew him. He must have told them about him. He touched so many people.
October 9, 2016
Hi Ern, I was having dinner with Munna, Mano. We were a total of 5 people. Your seat was empty and guess what Luke did. He brought the teddy bear, the one who is wearing your clothes , places his glasses on him and fits him in your chair. Now my Dada is here and we can eat. Ofcourse I broke down. I love you my precious beautiful husband.
October 5, 2016
Can't believe it's happened. He also made earth beautiful also, his eyes and expressions could easily lighten any situation
October 4, 2016
Ern a family came to see our house today,good Christain people. They loved our house and made an offer and all I could do was cry. The husband prayed and the wife put her arms around me but just the realization that it might actually happen was just too sad. We talked about selling our house but I don't know Ern. It hurts too much

Really Love And Miss You ERN.I am sure that Heaven is beautiful ,Iam envious that you are with Ma, Pa, and Phyl.This time on earth is short where God is concerned;see you soon my family.Joyce remains quiet but misses you immensely, how do I lighten her heart, tears are not enough. your sister Mav.
September 25, 2016
Darren, always remember you were his pride and joy
September 24, 2016
Darren, I know with all of my heart that your grandfather loved you more than anyone. Yes, he loved me and AV, and all of his brothers and sisters, but you were in a different league in his eyes. You were his pride and joy. I never once talked to him without him asking "how's my grandson". He was so proud of your hard work and he will still be more proud as he watches from above to see you become the fine young man that you grow into with every passing day. I miss him tremendously too, we all do in our own ways. The grief of not having him just a phone call away sometimes just comes out of nowhere and seems almost unbearable. Life without him just isn't the same, his love for you will live on in your heart always. I love you so much, we all do.
Kenneth Sohotra
September 24, 2016
Darren, he had a very special place in his heart for you. He loved and worried about you in a different way. In many ways he saw you as someone who redeemed him. Stay strong and focused Darren. Love you very much. Uncle Ken
Darren Sohotra
September 23, 2016
Grandpa,
So many things have changed since you left us. I'm starting to accept the fact you're gone, but it still hurts a lot and it's strange not having you call me everyday. I still have all the voicemails you left me and I listen to them here and there and hearing them makes me smile and want to cry at the same time. Words can't describe how much everyone misses having you around. These past 3 months have been so hard for me because I was closer to you than I was anyone else, and that hurt the most. I've finally built up the strength to write my feelings on this page and it is still tough for me to do but I know you would of wanted me to stay strong for you. I just want you to know that I love you so much and will never forget all you taught me and appreciate everything you've done for me throughout my life. I know you're in Heaven wearing your Timbs, jeans, and suit jacket watching over us with the rest of our family. God bless you and rest easy.
Love always,
Your Grandson Darren
September 22, 2016
I know Ken. I was trying so hard to be strong for Dan. I wanted him to have a good birthday but It was just not the same. It will never be the same. It is only 3 months and 10 days but it seems like eternity. Ken your brother was a beautiful person and I should be grateful for the last 18 years but it just was not enough. I miss him so much
Kenneth Sohotra
September 20, 2016
Veena, it was so empty there without Ernie. Just his presence used to liven up any get together. Now it just seems like we are going through the motions.
September 18, 2016
Ern, we went out for Dan's birthday. I was very cheerful and it was a good time. The really sad part was that we could not do this in your lifetime. God Ern I am fine in company but the minute I am alone it hits me and it hits me hard. I will always love you. You were my love and my strength and now I have nothing left
September 14, 2016
Dan Beta, I can only imagine how much you miss your dad specially today. I so wish he was with us. May God bless you beta and keep him proud of you. Just like you always did. You are quite a man like your dad and having you in my life is a big blessing
September 12, 2016
I had a dream of you and me. We were sleeping and you are holding ne just the way you did. I am saying to you but you dead and you laugh and say I'llmake sure you die first. I check your hand and feet and I am blissfully happy. I kiss you and am convinced that my husband is alive. You are smoking and jump out bed so very happy to turn on the lights and then I realized it was a dream. Thank you for the dream
September 11, 2016
3 months Ern. Only 3 months and it seems like eternity. Oh my God I love you so much Meri Jaan and miss you every second of every minute. One day I will be with you again. Can't wait My Ernu

Tomorrow is 9/11, I remember Ernie telling me in the late 70's how this country will be threatened by the tribe of Ishmeal in the future. He had amazing insight and understanding of history. I miss talking to my brother.
