Kathy, Janet just told me of your loss, I am so sorry to hear about your mom. You are in my prayers and Elsa and I both want you to know how sorry we are. I hope you and your family are doing as well as can be expected at a time like this and know she is in loving hands and with your dad. God bless you and your family.

To all the Ernsts,
Our deepest sympathy goes out to all of you. Your mom was such a wonderful person and such a huge part of our lives at DeChantal and such a good friend to us Teares. We just got word in the Bahamas where we are for a Family wedding. We wish we could be there to celebrate the amazing life your mom led and what a great role model she was for all of us. All of you are in our prayers and thoughts in this difficult time.
All of our love, The Teare's

To all the Ernst's,
It's with my deepest sympathy that I write this note. Your Mom was such a great woman, and made a big impact on my childhood and adult hood! Some of my best childhood memories involve your parents and entire family! Beach trips, contests for the deepest tans, playing backgammon tournaments with your Dad and winning :)...my Mom and your Mom having their coctails on the dunes in the evening time... Friday night Bridge where Mom and Dad would drag Joe and I along to watch TV and hang with Billy while our parents all played cards and shared adult time... just great child hood memories that both your parents played a huge role in.
I am praying for peaceful hearts during this difficult time for all of your family. Your Mom will be missed greatly, and fond memories of her will surely make it easier in the coming weeks and months of your grieving process.
With My Warmest Regards, Carrie (Brauch) Thompson

What wonderful memories we have of your mom and dad living in St. Jane de Chantal parish. They were always the first to volunteer with the CYO and Maplewood Football. We were fortunate to have known them during these years when all our children grew up together. Cecille was a great lady and I know she will be missed by all. May she rest in peace.

Although we lived across the street from Mrs. Ernst for just over 2 years, we always loved the parade of cars from your wonderful and loving family coming to visit during Christmas and other long weekends. Nothing puts you in the holiday spirit quite like families getting together to celebrate. We are also fortunate to have a son in the same class as Molly's daughter Mary. In addition to being incredibly nice people, we were always greeted by three big happy smiles from three different generations. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you all and that the whole neighborhood we will surely miss your mother.

Mark and Family, My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. Your mother always welcomed me into your home and treated me as if I were part of the family. And I will always remember her leading every 4th of July parade. What a great lady. May your memories bring you comfort. BR
