Sorry to hear about Ernie’s passing. I remember when he had Gary bring me out to the farm when I was little to see the horses, still a memory I hold dear to my heart. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.
We are sorry for your loss. We hope you find comfort in fond memories of him during the difficult times ahead.
