I will forever miss my uncle for as long as I can remember he has been calling me mudfish a childhood nickname that he gave me and it stuck with me as I grew up. I loved my uncle for his caring questions on how I was doing. He was a good man God took one of his angels home and he will missed and loved forever.
Your niece,
Mudfish
Jill and family,
Please accept our deepest condolences on the loss of Earnest. It was so good to be able to see and visit with him back in the summer with my mom and sister, Cynthia. I know he now rests in the arms of the Lord and is healed from all illness. I hope you can take comfort in that you will see him again. I pray the Lord will hold you close as you grieve and bring you solace in the days ahead.
With Love,
Don and Marcia (Hanniford) Shue
