  3. So sorry to hear about losing Ernie to the angels. I remember him very fondly; he was such a prankster and jokester. He always made me smile, even when he gave me a hard time.

    My thoughts and prayers are with all of you as well as memories that make me smile.

    Phyllis, it was so nice to see you at Mom’s service in January.

    Hugs to all of you. Jamie
