Ernie,

I remember you from my early childhood: You were not always full of words but one could tell you were always full of love.



II Corinthians 4:14, "We know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you in his presence."



May we all be there with Ernie on that glorious day!!!!



With Love,The Mason Family

To the family, friends and other loved one Of Ernie a.k.a Poppie:



Today a loved one passed away

For he could not hold out another day.

He will live on within out hearts.

Our lives he will always be apart.

Now he can look over us from above

His whispers are light, like the wings of a Dove.

He wouldn't want us to be sad and weep.

A memory of him happy, is what we should keep.

His life was very full,

Never a moment dull.

God decided that he lived all he could.

So he took our Poppie where he could do more good.

Keep him in out hearts we must

For he will continue to live through us.

- Nicole Ann Baker- Ulku



Remember that he is in a better place where he can watch over the ones he loves. R.I.P Poppie
