  1. Martin, Debbie and Shelly you are in my thoughts and prayers.

  2. Heaven has received another angel and we have lost her presence here for awhile but one day we will all be together again.
    I truly loved her as my sister. She was a blessing in my life.
    Love you Deb, Shelly and Randy. My prayers are with you.

  3. Susan May says:

    Aunt Ern came to game night in WV a couple of times. She was very competitive and didn’t like that you didn’t get a prize when you won. So when she came we had to have prizes. I will forever miss my golf, cards, player. I knew I could always count on Aunt Ern for a good game of “golf” cards. “Play your cards this way”

  4. We all will miss you Aunt Ernie, you have touched our lives with your smile, your kindness and just always being there. Fly high and keep watch over us all.
    Randy, Debbie and Shelly, hugs and prayers to you through this processes that will come and go as does the oceans waves, may you find comfort in your memoires.
