So sorry to hear about Uncle Ernie’s passing, how appropriate that he is laid to rest on Good Friday with the belief in his heart to be raised to Glory as the promise of Easter is at hand. Kayla and I will always remember the joking and teasing and laughter we experienced as kids with Uncle Ernie. He lived a life well lived filled with love and family and will be truly missed. May the Circle be Unbroken. Love and Blessings to All
