My Dear cousin Ernie was the “Big Brother” I never had. Through our younger years, sharing his cowboy hats and guns with me to our teen and young adult dancing years, we always had a strong love for each other. Ernie was somebody you just wanted to be with cause you knew you were going to laugh and enjoy his company. They say your loved ones meet you to enjoy eternal life with you, well, he’ll have hundreds of loved ones waiting for him!!!
Love you Ern,
Laura
Dear Laura,
Thank you for sweet memories of my dad/husband
He love you and always looked forward to see you at any family function
My mom wanted me to tell you, “ when we look back we have good memories of you.”
My mom says my dad looked up to Uncle Gav because he was so classy , and a snappy dresser. And told me a funny story about his wife and her boots she always wore- year round!!!!!!
We love you
