I want to express my condolences to Aunt Sara and Junior’s family. I found Jr to be a down to earth, honest, funny, and hard working family man and I especially came to admire him for his stamina and courage. Jr fought the good fight and I know he is at peace. God bless him and all who loved him.
I am saddened to read of the passing of Ernie. I enjoyed working with him. The last time I saw ya’ll was at Mildred’s and he looked very sick. So sorry for your loss.
