My favorite story is the one my dear friend (Denise) told me. As she told me this story, she could hardly get it out because she would be laughing so hard tears would be flying out of hers eyes. I think that's why I liked it so much, because she did.

The story went...One day Ernie was fishing. He got the fishing hook with one of those fancy lures hooked on his earlobe. He couldn't get it out himself, so he had to drive himself to the Emergency Room. On the way to the hospital, a couple of girls pulled up beside him at a red light a busted out laughing. He kind of knew why they were laughing, but he was too embarrassed to look at them, so he starred straight ahead waiting for the light to change. While waiting he kept saying over and over in his mind...Oh My God...they think I have an earring in my ear..Oh My God...they think I have an earring in my ear! I will never forget that story!

Ernie was a wonderful man and father. I had so many good times with him and Denise. They had an extremely close relationship, and I am one hundred percent sure that it is continuing now that they are together again!

Ernie you will be missed greatly as well as Denise and Gina.-Love you guys!
