Michelle ,Karen and Family:
Ernie was so highly thought of by my family. He built all kinds of projects. He was a very bright spot
in mom and dads lives making them laugh around camp fires on camping trips
The horses were a Large part of moms life and I know they enjoyed both your parents very much
Rarely did their names not be brought up during our family get togethers. You dad was one of a kind
and will be missed .
