  15. It is with fondness I recall meeting Ernestine at Kedge in 1961. She was a mom to us girls who were away from home for the first time. She was a hard worker. I regret I never saw her after that summer but was able to know of her life from family. I extend my sympathy to all members of her family and know you are very thankful to have had her in your life for a long time. May she rest in peace and we have been blessed with her presence in our life.

  18. ” A person that departs from this earth never truly leaves for they are still alive in our hearts and minds, through us, they live on.”

    My Deepest Sympathy to the entire family. Your Mum was a very special lady, and her teachings very wise.

    Lovely old pics and video of the family.
