Dear Louise and family,
We are both very, very sad to learn of Ernie's sudden death. I had been thinking I should give you a call only a week ago and then I did not get it done. I hope your health Louise is better now so you are able to cope with the loss of your dear Ernie. We will never forget him.
Things have been a bit hectic down here in Virginia as Keith just had triple bypass heart surgery. He is recovering well, but with a few lingering things from the operation still needing to be cleared from
his body.
You will remain in our prayers. Sorry we cannot be with you at this time.
Love from us both,
Keith and Joan

Dear Louise and family:
Herb and I knew Ernie a short time, yes, but somehow he always made us
feel we had known him for years. He was warm, sincere, lived the Gospel
and always had a smile for everyone. He sent me, Carol, the greatest
e mails always having to do with planes because I told him one time I
loved planes. He was that way. Always thinking of others.
God's Peace to you and your family, Louise.
Carol and Herb
