As we prepare to lay you to rest we can only remember how strong your faith was in God until your dying day. We can only remember how you was such a loving father, brother, uncle, cousin, brother-in-law and friend. The love that you had for God was displayed in your daily walk and talk. We only had you here for a short while but every second was worth it. You can never be replaced. I know the Angels in Heaven are rejoicing as they have gained another soldier. You never complained nor moaned. You went away peacefully with us by your side and for that we are at peace. Rest on Dad. We love you and until we meet again...Your daughter Phyllis and behalf of your son Maurice and the entire family.

To Phyllis, Maurice (Buck), Mrs. Julia and family, May God continue to keep, lead, guide and strengthen you at this time of sorrow. I wish that I could be there, but my heart and prayers are with you all. The Word of God says,...absent from the body is present with the Lord. We know that's what Ernest lived for. I love you all! God bless!Rosa Ann Robinson
