    I am so sad to hear about Ernestine. She was my Atmore buddy. I will always remember the fun times we had. She was a very sweet and precious lady, and I learned to love her, as if she was my family. My heart goes out to the family, because I know she will dearly be missed. MAY SHE REST IN PEACE.
