I am so sorry for your loss. I graduated with Ernie and recently reconnected with him through Facebook. one thing I will ask is that you be gracious to yourself in your grief. I lost my husband in March and it is a lot harder to grieve than I thought. I will continue to pray for comfort for you and will remember the happy Memories.

Our condolences to Ernie’s family. As years pass, we might be separated by time but surely not by memories. We remember many times with Ernie and family and we are thankful for those memories. We are so sorry for  your loss.

You always had a way of making people smile.  You’re fun way of life and compassion for those around you.  The world will be a less fun place with you gone.  The angels in heaven are in for a good laugh.  I worked with Ernie at Sechan Electronics, Inc.

I’m so sorry for the family’s loss. I met Ernie through our friend Greg and then got to know him through work. He was a really nice guy. I was sad to hear of his passing.

Dear family, I was so very sorry to hear about Ernie. I worked with him for about 2 1/2 yrs and had a lot of conversations with him.  We talked about the Lord a lot. May you find peace and comfort in Jesus during this very very sad time. We will be praying for all of you.
