I sure wish I could have met her. After spending time with all of my family at the family reunion this Summer, I realized how much I missed out as a kid. I am grateful for the time I've been able to spend with family thus far and look forward to more great times in the future.

My husband and I did Wheels on Wheels and we loved Mrs Wardlow. We had a connection and she was special. I lost my husband to brain cancer diagnosis soon after she had a stroke early 2013,, before we had a chance to tell her. We always said we would tell her if we were not coming back. I lost him January 2015 at 61. Still think about Mrs Wardlow so often. An amazing lady and an inspiration.

Ernestine was a kind woman who embrace family, she was always sweet and to me and my children, her granddaughters.
Nothing can replace the void that is felt since her home going, and she will always hold a very special place in my heart.

It still saddens my heart that I never had the opportunity to share a smile, laugh or talk with you. I know you were an amazing woman after finally for the first time meeting my aunts and uncles it was like we've known each other our entire lives. ♥

Reg and Family, I am so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. I know that there are few words that can really express the loss. I lost my mom this past October and nothing feels quite the same when that piece of your heart called Mom has left this earth. I remember your mom. Please rest assured that to be absent from the body is to be present with The Lord. Reg you and your family are in my prayers. Your old friend, Ralph.
